Garden Route Travel Information

This route is richly endowed by nature, spectacular in many ways, graced with golden beaches, indigenous forests, lakes, lagoons and meandering rivers.

The rugged coastline, marked by a succession of bays, beaches, cliffs, coves and capes, links one beautiful resort to another. Bordered in the north by a series of impressive mountain ranges, the interior is reached via a number of scenic passes.

How to get there:
The Garden Route lies between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, both of which have airports. Or you could just fly into the middle, to the town of George.

Best time to visit:
There is no bad time to visit the Garden Route. Bear in mind, though, that this is a favourite destination over Easter and the December holidays, so there will be more people at those times.

Tours to do:
Feather Bed Tour (Knysna), Tstitsikamma Forest Tour, Bramon Wine Tour.
