The Garden Route
region runs along a scenic stretch of coastline beginning at Bay Cove
Inn and ending in Cape Town. The region has become South
Africa's most popular tourist destination after Cape Town, and it's not
hard to see why. Visitors are drawn year-round to its indigenous
forests, freshwater lakes, wetlands, hidden coves and long beaches. The
narrow coastal plain is well forested and is mostly bordered by
extensive lagoons that run behind a barrier of sand dunes and superb
white beaches. The region has some of the largest patches of indigenous
forest in the country - giant yellowwood trees and wildflowers - as well
as commercial plantations of eucalyptus and pine.
Highlights of the Garden Route include the Wilderness
coastal stretch, the whale watchers paradise of Hermanus, Knysna's
lagoon and forest-based activities, as well as Plettenberg Bay, a
location that combines some of South Africa's best swimming beaches with
beautiful forest and indigenous vegetation. Near Plettenberg Bay is the
unspoilt Tsitsikamma National Park, where dense indigenous
forests are punctuated by streams and tumbling waterfalls flowing
towards the coast.

reasons. Monkeyland has captured the hearts of visitors in
its efforts to rehabilitate and free previously caged

TREE TOP
CANOPY TOURS
Stormsriver Adventures Tree top canopy tours differ from all
other zip swings, foefie slides and flying foxes in their
emphasis. Sure - you slide along cables at height but that's
where the similarity ends. Tree top canopy slides were
originally designed to allow biologists access to mysterious
forest canopies in order to study the hard-to-get at plants
and beasties that live high up in the trees. |
