There are very few places in the country that can boast such a diversity of natural places of beauty as the Western Cape. The Garden Route follows the coastline of the Indian Ocean on the Eastern Cape Coast, between a belt of mountain ranges, the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains inland. The Garden Route enjoys one of the mildest and most equable climates, with unspoiled golden beaches, beautiful lagoons and estuaries and boasts in excess of 250 species of birds.
The Garden Route stretches along the coastal plateau at the foot of the mountains, through a quiet world of high, primeval forests, and deep gorges rushing clear mountain streams to the sea.
Enjoy a fairy-tale steam train ride through the Lake District on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe! Explore the depths of the primeval forests, where the last of the Knysna elephants live their secret lives. Drive to the top of the Knysna Heads to view a spectacular vista of land and sea!
