Tour: Spring in the Cape and Karoo

In Europe, autumn starts and we escape to the Spring in South Africa. Experience rides along a carpet of flowers at the West coasts, turn into the Karoo, meet things back in time while ostriches watch, take a break along the beach and watch the whales, share time with Cape penguins and ride further to meet more.
