Garden Route National Park

Stretching along South Africa’s southern coast, Garden Route National Park weaves together lush forests, coastal cliffs, and rivers across a series of protected areas between Wilderness and Tsitsikamma. Unlike traditional wildlife parks, it’s more about scenery, outdoor adventure, and biodiversity - from ancient yellowwood trees to tidal pools teeming with marine life.

Highlights include the Storms River suspension bridge, multi-day hiking trails like the famous Otter Trail, canoeing in Wilderness, and birdwatching throughout the park. With easy access from towns like Knysna and Plettenberg Bay, and a range of activities for all ages and fitness levels, Garden Route National Park is ideal for travellers looking to combine nature, adventure, and coastline in one scenic journey.
