The Garden Route

Indigenous forests, lagoons and oceans, glorious natural beauty and oysters

The Garden Route

South Africa’s Garden Route is an incredible journey. As you make your way down the coastal pass, travelling through a string of seaside villages, it won’t take you long to realize you’ve discovered something special.
Magnificent forests meet lagoons and rivers, with views stretching out over the warm Indian Ocean.
Traveling through the towns of Mosselbay, George, Wilderness, Sedgefield and Knysna, you’ll see the magnificent Tsitsikamma Forest and the awe-inspiring Storms River Bridge. Visit Plettenberg Bay for the endless stretches of sand or Jeffreys Bay for the legendary waves at some of the world’s best surfing spots, a playground for international surfers and ocean lovers alike.

We couldn’t even begin to list the million things to do, but some of the most exciting activities include surfing, swimming, yachting, jet skiing, boating, fishing, and golfing.

The Garden Route is an enchanting experience.
