Stretching along South Africa’s beautiful coastline for 200 kilometres, from Western Cape’s Mossel Bay along the Indian Ocean to Eastern Cape along the Storms River, the Garden Route is one of the most alluring passages to drive along. The route rolls besides dainty coastal towns, refreshing emerald hills, lakes, pretty lagoons and staunch coastal cliffs. The delightful town of Knysna cuddled amidst dense woods and glistening lagoons, the charming Garden Route National Park with its lovely gorges, dense thickets and fetching tidal pools, amusing ostrich farms of Oudtshoorn, intriguing Cango Caves and Plettenbergs Bay’s splendid Robberg Nature reserve are some congenial spots located on this amazing route. You can even enjoy some great activities like elephant rides, bungee jumping, and whale watching here.
