The Kiara Tour is an unforgettable 14-day self-drive, full-on camping trip in the heart of South Africa’s wilderness, and a circular adventure that departs from Cape Town and returns. It is a trip built for those looking to step out of their comfort zone and connect with the essence of freedom and adventure. We will drive through one of the most beautiful areas in the world – through the Swartberg Mountains, the Bwijanskloof, the Cedarberg Pass and other remote mountain passes, while crossing parts of the familiar Garden Route, but from a wilder angle.
During the trip we will sleep in a different place every night – in the heart of nature, in magical camping areas, in forests, beside rivers and between mountain ranges. We will set up our camp, cook together, tell stories around the campfire and experience the true connection to the land, the group and the road. We will also reach familiar points such as the Cape of Good Hope, Chapman's Peak, Langebaan, beautiful coastal roads and wonderful natural sites – but always from an unconventional direction, via dirt roads, small paths and unparalleled open views.
Kiara is a trip that combines adventure, nature, driving and friendship. It is suitable for people who want to see the real South Africa – through the eyes of drivers, travelers and dreamers. If you are looking for a powerful, vivid experience, without screens and without masks – Kiara is calling you.

פרטי הטיול:
Who is this trip suitable for?
טיול קיארה מתאים בדיוק למי שחולם על חוויה פראית ואמיתית, כזו שמחברת אותך לשטח, לנופים הפתוחים ולדרום אפריקה כמו שלא הכרת. אם תמיד רצית לנהוג בעצמך ברכב 4x4, להקים קאמפינג בלב ההרים ולישון תחת מיליון כוכבים, הטיול הזה נבנה בשבילך. זהו מסלול מעגלי בן 14 ימים שיוצא מקייפטאון וחוזר אליה, דרך הגרדן רוט הקסומה, אבל לא בגרסה המוכרת שלה – אלא דרך מעברים נידחים ועוצמתיים כמו הרי סווארטברג, רכס הסידרברג, בוויאנסקלוף ועוד נקודות חבויות שרק המקומיים מכירים. זה לא רק טיול גיאוגרפי, זו מסע פנימי שבו כל דרך היא מטרה, כל נהיגה היא הרפתקה וכל לילה סביב מדורה הופך לזיכרון שנשאר איתך הרבה אחרי שתחזור. קיארה מיועד להרפתקנים בנשמה, לאנשים שלא מחפשים עוד טיול מאורגן אלא רוצים להרגיש את האדמה, לשמוע את השקט ולחוות את אפריקה כמו שהיא – חיה, פראית, מלאת ניגודים ומרגשת בכל רגע. ואם אתה גם רוצה לסיים את המסע בסיבוב עוצמתי סביב קייפטאון, כף התקווה הטובה וצאפמנס פיק.
