Garden Route

The Garden Route, stretching across South Africa’s Western Cape and Eastern Cape, unfolds as an immersive journey through landscapes that defy simplicity. Kayak through mist-laden forests at dawn, savour artisanal gin by a tranquil lagoon at lunch and trek coastal cliffs carved by the relentless Indian Ocean by dusk. Knysna, with its stoic sandstone heads, embodies quiet elegance and craftsmanship, while Plettenberg Bay captivates with untamed, elemental shores. Storms River in Tsitsikamma is not merely a forest but an invitation to lose yourself in a vast, primal world. Inland, Oudtshoorn surprises with its playful mix of ostrich farms and the sculptural depths of the Cango Caves. The Garden Route offers an experience unapologetically its own.
