Garden Route

The Garden Route aptly named for it’s greenery and Tsitsikamma Forest, located all along the southern coast of South Africa, is a natural paradise and must-see when visiting the Western Cape.

Ideally, to behold this beautiful extended region, a few days should be spent on the Route, which in near-on tracing the coastline, passes through or close to the towns of Mossel Bay, George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley -every one of them having holding their own unique charm and attractions.

While the scenery is enough to make you stop and stare, it’s the hidden gems that can be found on the sides of the roads that are the real allure of the Garden Route.

Over time ancient woodcutter clans, fishermen, artists, businessmen and top chefs have all found their niches along the Garden Route in the Western Cape.

Whatever your dream day is made up of, you’ll find what you’re looking on the Garden Route… even if it’s just to time immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful parts of South Africa, if not the world.
