DAY 4

KNYSNA, PLETT EXPLORATION AND ANIMAL ENCOUNTERS

  • Breakfast on route at one of the farmstalls – we recommend the one at the Cheeseman between Knysna and Plett. It’s got a few very cool shops to browse in and the food is divine.
  • Arrive at Birds of Eden which is a 5 acre aviary – the biggest in Southern Africa. It is mind blowing and an incredible experience.
  • And then on to Monkey land where a guide takes you on a tour to meet the various species of moneys. So adorable and interesting.
  • On route back to Treedom stop at a centre called The Village Centre in Wilderness. Enjoy dinner at Joplins Steak Bar or any of the restaurants in the Village, they are all divine. But Joplins is a very cozy place with a great vibe and the steaks are to die for. Very casual.

VISIT BIRDS OF EDEN AND MONKEYLAND

DAY 5

ZIP LINING or RIVER CRUISE

SWARTVLEI LAKE

  • Breakfast at Treedom
  • Choose your zip lining experience: Mossel Bay; Knysna; Storms River or

    • We begin with a drive to Pine Lake Marina for a safety briefing and indemnity.
    • We board the speed boat and cross Swartvlei Lake on route up the beautiful river.
    • Entering the river canals bubbly is popped and we sip and admire the beauty of the riverbanks and bird life.
    • We arrive at Eastbrooke River Lodge and take a short walk up to the farmhouse.
    • Inflatables invite you to float and swim in the natural spring. We spend the day lazing in the sun, chilling on a lilo or relaxing under the palm tree with an ice cold drink (bring own) and your luxury picnic from www.wildernesspicnic.co.za.
    • Later on the engines fire up and it’s time for a slow cruise down the river and a thrill ride across the lake homeward bound.
