About Garden Route
The Garden Route runs some 300 km between Mossel Bay and Storms River, squeezed between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean: lakes, lagoons, ancient forest and surf beach following one another around every bend. Knysna's oyster-rich lagoon, Plettenberg Bay's whales and dolphins, and Tsitsikamma's sea cliffs are the headline stops. Add bungee jumping at Bloukrans, forest canopy tours and superb food and wine, and it earns its place on almost every South African itinerary.
