Garden Route travel

'This land of lakes, bays, mountains and forests languishes on the southern coast from Heidelberg to the Eastern Cape's Tsitsikamma Forest and Storms River'

The Garden Route has become South Africa's most popular tourist destination after Cape Town (and before the Kruger National Park), you will not want to leave this idyllic section of coastline!

With an abundance of blue skies, white sand beaches, rolling oceans, mountain scenery, indigenous fynbos and local hospitality. A destination where you can travel along routes where you are often alone on the open road or make for the malls and beaches. Golden vineyards, sun-drenched orchards, pin-drop-silent forests, sweeping lakes and birds eye view passes all add to this being a popular destination.

Garden Route travel for those interested in beaches and the whites sands that accompany them are most definitely spoiled for choice.
