Description of the attraction
Garden Route, or Garden Route, 200 km long stretches along the most beautiful South African coast, through the small towns of Whitsand, Steelby and Albertina, George, Sedgefield, through the resort towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, through the pristine green forests of Tsitsikamma Park - this a real magical land of giant trees, ferns and wonderful birds. The peaks of the rocky mountains of the ridge lying along the coastline, small azure beaches and bays, brightly colored wild flowers - all this pleases the eye. Here you can go snorkeling, mountaineering, fishing or just relaxing.
Between Heidelberg and the Storms River, the Garden Trail runs almost parallel to the coastline through lakes, mountains, verdant forests, amber rivers and golden beaches. Here you can relax on the beach, swim, walk along forest trails, go boating or retire while enjoying fishing.
The delightful city of George, known as the Gateway to Garden Route, has been called a city of contrasts. It adorns the coastal plateau of fertile land with lush vegetation at the foot of the Uteniqua mountain range. You can visit Tsitsikamma National Park, located on the shores of the Indian Ocean and get acquainted with its attractions. Its green forests are home to dozens of bird species.
One of the most geologically interesting places in South Africa is the amazing Karoo region, with high mountains and steep gorges, with the Cango caves, which are carved out of limestone by nature itself. Cango Caves is one of the ten most visited South African attractions. The town of Oudtshoorn itself is the heart of the ostrich industry. The largest ostrich farm is located here. Particularly interesting is the exhibition of the history of the ostrich feather from the late 19th - early 20th centuries. You can visit ostrich farms, see how ostriches are raised, and ride them.
These places inspire writers and artists, whose creations give the Garden Route a fashionable flavor. Visiting here is a must and prestigious for many foreign tourists. The Garden Route offers a wide range of opportunities for an unforgettable holiday on the South African Peninsula, with impressive landscapes and a guaranteed good climate.
