The Garden Route
Travelling east from Cape Town, you will start to drive along what is called the ‘Garden Route’. The town of George and Mossel Bay signifies the ‘gateway’ to the Garden Route, and this 200 km+ route stretches through beaches, bays, lakes, mountains, rivers, and forests with remarkable views and pitstops around every corner. For many reasons, this route is one of the most popular holiday destinations while travelling South Africa. The vegetation, ever-changing topography (and mind-blowing views that come with it), wildlife, and outdoor & adrenaline pumping activities will have you asking yourself why you would ever want to leave. You could spend weeks in this area alone exploring and trying all of the activities, so be sure not to rush through here. Take some time to slow down and enjoy the beauty that this natural area has to offer!
