Garden Route Activities
The Garden Route has a Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers, and mild to chilly winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian ocean. Any time of the year is good for visiting the area, depending if you enjoy a peaceful retreat during the winter months, or a bustling holiday destination during the summer.
Knysna is one of the Southern Cape coast's best known holiday destination, situated between lush forests and the shores of the peaceful lagoon - it offers many activities and attractions of a wide variety.
| Nature |
 | The Garden Route has one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline.
Mountains crowd close to a shoreline dotted with beaches and bays, and vividly coloured wild flowers delight the eye.
Between Heidelberg and Storms River, the Garden Route runs parallel to a coastline featuring lakes, mountains, tall indigenous forests, amber -coloured rivers and golden beaches
|
| Wildlife |
 | As there are many large conservation areas the essential beauty of the Garden Route still remains. The visitor can get a true feel for this very special part of Africa as well as the fantastic birdlife, baboons, bushbuck, monkeys, bushpig and even leopards may still be found in the wild and more remote areas

| Adrenalin Adventures |
 | Knysna, the heart of the adventurous Garden Route, on the N2 between Cape Town (500 km) and Port Elizabeth (260 km), surrounded by its vast lagoon, the Indian Ocean, a range of mountains and ancient indigenous forests. It not only offers its visitors with a natural wonderland of unique and varied outdoor experiences from nature to wildlife, but also something for the adrenalin adventure lovers from Skydiving, Abseiling and Bloukrans Bungee Jumping to heart stopping Shark Cage Diving excursions…

| Golf Courses |
 | Since it's one of the richest rainfall areas in South Africa it is, as a result, perennially green, and therefore a fabulous location for golf courses! In addition to this, the golf courses that dot the coast merge with the natural surrounds offering unforgettable views. Not only do the Garden Route 's golf courses offer you world-renowned, challenging and oustanding golf opportunities, but it is also an ideal area for watersports and outdoor activities
