Meander through meadows, orchards and medieval villages filled with historic churches and château, and stop often to sample some of the greatest French gastronomy, including wild mushrooms, local cheeses, and Bordeaux and Chablis wines. Details Le Boat offers boat hire from Le Mas d’Agenais from three nights to two weeks.

GARDEN ROUTE ADVENTURE, SOUTH AFRICA

Where else can you spend one day elephant spotting, the next wine tasting, and the next hiking the highlands? On South Africa’s Garden Route, where the road wends its way through the Addo Elephant National Park, the Hermanus Wine Region and the Lesotho Highlands, and is crying out to be enjoyed at a slower pace. Starting in Durban, Intrepid’s tour takes 14 days to arrive in Cape Town, and on the way you’ll be spending nights under canvas and the days simply taking it all in.

Details Intrepid offers a 14-day Garden Route Adventure through South Africa with regular departures through to 2024.
