The Garden Route thoroughly deserves its reputation for enchanting beauty. Garden Route holidays are perfect for those wanting to relax in beautiful surroundings. The name refers to a superb stretch of coast between Mossel Bay and the Storms River. It offers a spectacular coastline of dramatic headlands overlooking white sandy beaches. Behind are soaring mountains covered by indigenous rainforest, magnificent twisting passes, waterfalls and wooded ravines. In other areas, the bird-filled lagoons and wetland lakes lie behind the fynbos-covered sand dunes.
Garden Route holidays are equally good for those seeking adventure. There are walking and hiking trails by the lakes, along the coast and in the mountains. Adrenalin-junkies are spoilt for choice with bungee jumping, bridge swinging, tubing and Great White Shark cage diving. Hhorse-riding, canoeing, mountain biking and golfing are all on offer. Indeed there’s a vast amount to see and do on the Garden Route. So filling your days will not be a problem. Choosing what to leave out may be more difficult!
You can also enjoy a safari, either at one of the Garden Route-based safari lodges. Or in the Eastern Cape which is only a easy scenic drive away.
The Garden Route is also an ideal self-drive destination. There are good roads and signage. And lots of fun activities and country restaurants are easily accessible from the road. However, we can also arrange guided touring on request.
Only the best African travel advice, tidbits and tours. No nonsense.
