South Africa's The Garden Route
The Garden Route
With its richly diverse topography, lush forests and speckling of quaint villages, it is no wonder why the Garden Route has grown to one of the most coveted destination locations amongst travelers of a higher regard. It is a land of Eden-esque qualities, where spectacular coastlines give way to white sandy beaches, and towering sand dunes mask placid lagoons and serene lakes. Here, you can traverse mountains, explore caves, bike through forests, encounter a Great White, visit an ostrich farm, paraglide onto the beach or float along the banks of South Africa’s most famous garden.
Nature lovers will adore this noted wetland paradise, boasting an unmatched array of bird life, and unique perspective from the treetop canopy of the thick Tsitskamma Forest as seen from the Monkeyland primate sanctuary, while those of more a historic intrigue will revel in the nostalgic Outeniqua steam train and mysterious primeval forests. Embrace the bustling resort centers of Knysna with its beautiful lagoons, art galleries and lively waterfront, or venture over to the more arid, rugged region of Little Karoo where sweet wine over lunch at a working ostrich farm or a winding adventure through the labyrinthine complex of limestone caverns known as Cango Caves is easily arranged. No matter how you enjoy this garden playground, the Garden Route promises to invigorate the child within.
