Awesome Nature and Scenic Routes
The beautiful Garden Route stretches from Mossel Bay through to the Storms River mouth. This 200-kilometer route takes travelers through a series of picturesque towns and villages, each with its own unique character and attractions. Certainly, anyone who has explored the Garden Route soon comes to understand why it is considered by many to be South Africa’s “Garden of Eden”.
Those looking for a touch of adventure will not be disappointed. Zip from tree to tree on a Tsitsikamma canopy tour, bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge—reputed to be the world’s highest commercially operated jump—or opt for the Gourits Bridge for a slightly less extreme thrill. With many hiking and mountain biking routes winding through breath-taking terrain, both beginners and experienced adventurers will find trails to suit their fitness levels. Whale-watching and bird-spotting opportunities are plentiful along the coastline.
When traveling along the scenic Garden Route, relax and enjoy the drive, stopping off at popular spots such as George, Wilderness, Sedgefield, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature’s Valley, Storms River, and the Tsitsikamma National Park. Other charming towns along the way include Little Brak, Groot Brak, Herold’s Bay, Glentana, Victoria Bay, and Brenton on Sea—each offering its own natural wonders and tranquil ambiance.
