Cape Town to Port Elizabeth – Wilderness and Sedgefield

After what seemed like an instant we were back in the car, heading towards Wilderness. If there is one place outside of Cape Town I really love, this is it. This sleepy beach town, tucked away in lush woodlands, has a natural allure and an unspoilt feel about it. The beaches are golden, the trees are the deepest of greens and the waves are mesmerising. En route we stopped in Vic Bay and watched the surfers and fisherman doing their thing.

Wilderness is also a perfect spot for paragliding: I’d highly recommend you try it. If the paragliding operators aren’t there, they’ll be in Sedgefield, which is just a hop, skip and a jump (or just a short drive, obviously) up the road. Give them a call before you arrive and they’ll let you know where they are launching on the day. Just next to the paraglider’s take-off spot is a restaurant called The View. I can personally vouch for that name because the view is absolutely amazing, second to none.
