Capabilities

Tools 3

generate_itinerary

Build a day-by-day Garden Route itinerary (west to east, no repeated activities) with per-day costs, a budget check, dietary verification, safety notes and transport estimates. Activities within a day are kept walkable or a short costed hop apart. If a town has nothing left or open (e.g. rain), the day becomes a trip to the nearest hub. Picks, prices and whale season depend on the month, so ask the traveller for their travel month first (if omitted, the current month is assumed and flagged). Costs are in South African rand; times and fares are estimates.

Discovered
get_knowledge

Local knowledge for one Garden Route town: free/paid activities, hidden gems, dorm prices with booking links, evenings, safety tips and NSRI links.

Discovered
get_stats

Usage statistics for this API (call counts, recent calls).
