Garden Route

 
 

Streching from Swellendam to Tstitsikamma, the Garden Route offers visitors a diverse experience ranging from rolling landscapes, semi-desert arid region of Oudtshoorn to the lush forests of the Knysna and Plettenberg Bay areas. Lovely white beaches in the Mossel Bay, Wilderness and Plettenberg Bay completes this destination as an excellent choice for all ages.

The Garden Route isn't really a "route" but a destination in its own right. Good beaches, restaurants and loads to see and do, make it a great place to spend 3 to 5 days. Once there we recommend you make a base in Knysna or Plettenberg Bay.

Only a short distance to the Eastern Cape's malaria free big five game reserves, this destination lends the opportunity for a great 'beach and bush' holiday.
