All along the Garden Route are many charming seaside resorts, attracting travellers from around the world. The coastal towns appeal to outdoor types who enjoy an unstructured holiday itinerary, or to travellers who enjoy stunning scenery at every turn of the road..

Mountains tumble to a shoreline dotted with beaches and bays, and brightly coloured wild flowers are in profusion during springtime. Between Heidelberg and Storms River, the Garden Route stretches in a slither of coastline with lakes, mountains, tall indigenous forests, coca-cola-coloured rivers and long, sweeping
beaches. Meandering trails are trekked by hikers, the forests are conducive to long, leisurely drives, and the indian ocean, lakes and rivers are irresistibly inviting for swimming boating and fishing. A wide range of leisure activities, spectacular scenery and a mild climate guarantee an unforgettable holiday experience when visiting the Garden Route in South Africa.

The region provides a contrasting landscape. The town of George, known as "The Gateway to the Garden Route", resides on a coastal plateau in a area of lush greenery at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains. Oudtshoorn, "Capital of the Klein Karoo", is set in a semi-arid valley, providing the ideal habitat for ostriches
which are farmed here on a grand scale.

The Garden Route continues on the southern coast, passing through Plettenberg Bay, known as "The Jewel of the Garden Route",into the Tsitsikamma Forests, and onwards to Storms River. With it's magnificent sweeping beaches, mountains that march into the distance and majestic Robberg Peninsula dominating the
seascape, its no surprise that it is to this corner of the country that writers and artists flock for inspiration, and give the Garden Route a colourful and creative flavour.

The coastal drive links a series of towns surrounded by natural beauty. Along the way, many kinds of adventure activities are possible; bungie jumping off the highest bridge in the southern hemisphere, river tubing, scuba diving, abseiling, fishing, golfing and much more. The Tsitsikamma National Park, perched on the
Indian Ocean shore is one of the wildest of South Africa's protected areas, combining marine and land attractions. Its indigenous forests are a bird watcher's paradise.
