THE GARDEN ROUTE – A JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY
Between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth the 396km 'Garden Route' has unspoilt beaches, ancient forests, numerous rivers and its own lake district overlooked by the imposing Outeniqua Mountains.
Cross the high passes into the Karoo to Oudtshoorn with its ostrich farms and the underground galleries of the Cango Caves.
Take the nostalgic Outeniqua Choo Tjoe steam train from George to Knysna where the Featherbed Nature Reserve offers dramatic views of the Knysna Heads and lagoon.
See the 'millionaires playground' of Plettenberg Bay.
