Exploring the Garden Route is an absolute must for all South Africans and foreigners. The Garden Route is considered the route between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth. The most famous towns which define the Garden Route are Sedgefield, Wilderness, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Natures Valley. Throughout the Garden Route one will find that every little town has much to offer.

In Knysna, cruise along the lagoon and sea on a boat trip around the famous Knysna Heads, spend time in one of the markets, discover amazing seafood cuisine at the waterfront and visit the elephant park. Every July, Knysna lights up for the Oyster Festival and becomes the seafood lovers heaven. If you are an avid golfer, one should visit one of the World famous 18 hole golf courses such as Pezula, Simola, Fancourt or Knysna Golf Course. In 2006 the Garden Route was named the 2006 Golf Destination of the Year for Africa and the Middle East at the International Golf Travel Market held at Marbella, Spain.

Plettenberg Bay, or better known for its nickname Plett, is a seaside town with pristine white sand beaches. Swim alongside dolphins or relax on the beach in this very popular spot. Something more relaxing? There are plenty amazing long walks along Roberg Nature Reserve Beach.

Take a drive past Plettenberg Bay for 20min and you will arrive at Natures Valley. This charming town, at the mouth of Storms River, only started to develop in the 1950's due to various legal and environmental holdups. Today, it is still a highly protected area. Surrounded by beach and mountain on either side and one shop and restaurant, it is the perfect place to get lost in.
