It is not far to your first lodge on the edge of the Garden
Route. As you will probably not be able to check into the
lodge in the morning, you can continue to the Tsitsikamma
National Park, where you can go on a short hike from the
restaurant down to the suspension bridge across the
Storms River mouth. On the way back to your lodge you
could stop at the Big Tree – an 800 year old forest giant –
and at the impressive Paul Sauer bridge across the Storms
River gorge.

Continue along the Garden Route with its forests, deep
ravines and idyllic, secluded beaches, to Knysna with its

scenic forested mountain passes such as Bloukrans and
Nature’s Valley and enjoy the ocean and lagoon vistas of
Plettenberg Bay. On your second day here partake in the
many possible excursions, such as the Featherbed Tour,
Monkeyland, Birds of Eden, the Snake Park and The

markets.

Winelands and South Africa’s second oldest town. Take a
stroll along Dorp Street with its beautifully restored old
Cape Dutch houses before continuing over the Helshoogte
