Route 62

Winding from the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town to the Karoo town of Oudtshoorn, Route 62 weaves through a chain of charming small towns and some of South Africa’s most captivating scenery. Known as the longest wine route in the world, it leads travellers past fertile valleys and lush vineyards that contrast strikingly with the rugged semi-desert of the Klein Karoo. Towering mountains, glistening rivers, and tranquil farmlands frame the road at every turn. Highlights along the way include the renowned Winelands of the Breede River Valley, the majestic Swartberg Mountains, the Cango Caves, and ostrich farms in Oudtshoorn, as well as the fruit orchards of the Langkloof Valley.
