South Africa’s Garden Route offers one of the most spectacular road trip experiences in the world. This 300-kilometer stretch of coastal road between Mossel Bay and Storms River is a feast for the senses.

Highlights of the Garden Route:

• Knysna: Famous for its lagoon and oysters.
• Tsitsikamma National Park: Home to the Storms River Mouth and suspension bridge.
• Plettenberg Bay: Beautiful beaches and whale watching opportunities.
• Oudtshoorn: Visit ostrich farms and the Cango Caves.
• Wilderness: Serene lakes and beaches perfect for water sports.

The route offers a perfect blend of dramatic coastal scenery, lush forests, charming towns, and diverse wildlife. Adventure seekers can enjoy activities like bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge or hiking in the Robberg Nature Reserve.

For the best experience, plan for at least 5-7 days to explore the route thoroughly. The best time to visit is between February and April when the weather is mild and tourist crowds are fewer.
