The area stretches along the coastline from Heidelberg to the Tsitsikamma Forest and Storms River and winds through picturesque towns with their secluded beaches, quaint restaurants and shops. Humpback and Southern Right whales frolick along these coastal waters from May to December, whilst dolphins are year-round residents.
Known for its temperate Mediterranean climate, the Garden Route is an eco wonderland for nature lovers and a playground for outdoor and adventure enthusiasts.
The town of Knysna lies in the heart of the Garden Route beneath the Outeniqua Mountains, along the banks of a vast estuary which enters the Indian Ocean through two giant sandstone Heads. This cosmopolitan town with its upmarket boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants, is also home to a number of endangered species including the only forest elephant in South Africa and the unique Knysna seahorse.
