Garden Route
South Africa
Back to South Africa Garden Route
The Garden Route is a beautiful stretch of South Africa's coastline, running from Tsitsikamma Forest in the east to Mossel Bay in the west. The region is so-named because of its wild flowers, the famous Cape fynbos, which blossom in spring creating fabulous flower displays. Other local attractions include the coastal towns of Plettenberg and Hermanus, which offer beautiful beaches and seasonal whale-watching.
