One of the most scenic parts of South Africa, as you travel the N2 northwards up the east coast toward Port Elizabeth and a must see while visiting other areas of the country. The Garden Route has a beautiful coastline, with small interesting towns with white sandy beaches for surfing, swimming and wind-surfing. The area has lagoons and inlets with deep forests in parts which offer bike trails, hiking and a paradise for birding. While you are in the vicinity, there is the opportunity of a nostalgic steam train ride on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe. Adventure sport pursuits are Bunji-jumping, paragliding and shark cage diving. On your journey, you will be tempted to stop off at various of the small bays all the way from False bay should you be there during whale watching season, which falls from July to December. The most popular is Hermanus where an annual Whale Festival is held. |
