The Garden Route Of The South African Southern Cape Area - A Wonderland Of Beaches And Forests.
If you are ever lucky enough to be able to bring a visit to the Garden Route in South Africa, you are in for a real treat. Kilometers of white sandy beaches on one side, flanked by mountains and rain forests on the other side make for a holiday paradise. The route starts in the west at Mossel Bay and ends at the Tsitsikamma rain forest near Plettenberg Bay in the east.
Mossel Bay is an historic town with many well-preserved colonial buildings. The town overlooks the Indian ocean. It used to be the lesser-known of the Garden Route towns, but nowadays it teems with tourists. There are also a large number of hotels and guest houses. The service levels are high - at our guest house they even had baby bath tubs for those in need of it.
A few kilometers to the east lies the resort towns of Klein Brak River and Groot Brak River. Both have been popular holiday spots for South Africans for decades. When it's winter in the Northern hemisphere, it's of course summer in South Africa. This makes the country the ideal winter holiday location for people from the North.
George is the major town of the region. Here you will find all modern conveniences like shopping malls, movies and loads of good restaurants. To the east of George lies the renowned coastal resort town of Wilderness. Once again wide open white sandy beaches and many restaurants. Over weekends you will also find live music at many of these restaurants. I prefer to make my own music though: my Martin acoustic electric guitar, has been a source of great pleasure for many an evening.
Once you leave Wilderness, the road meanders through a series of green hills with the occasional glimpse of the sapphire blue Indian Ocean in the distance. The town of Sedgefield is in an area with numerous stunning lakes and is therefore equally popular with tourists. Our guide book mentioned that there's a fine costume jewelry wholesale distributor in town, but we couldn't find it.
About sixty kilometers from George the road enters the historical town of Knysna. Situated on the shores of a lagoon, it boasts a charming waterfront area with numerous restaurants and curio shops. Thirty years ago Knysna only came alive during summer, but nowadays the town is swarming with tourists throughout the year.
The last town on the route is Plettenberg Bay. This is where the wealthy and well-known hang out to see and be seen. There's a legion of upmarket hotels and guest houses and just as many restaurants. A few km further to the east you arrive at the eastern border of the Garden Route - the Tsitsikamma rain forest. Here you will forget for a few hours that you are only 200km away from the semi-desert Karroo region - it's a haven of waterfalls and ferns and you might even run into one of the few remaining elephants in the forest.
