About Garden Route
The Garden Route is one of South Africa's most popular road trips, winding along 300 kilometres of spectacular coastline between Mossel Bay and Storms River. The route passes through indigenous Tsitsikamma forest, past dramatic cliff formations, through charming seaside towns, and alongside some of the country's best whale-watching waters.
Key highlights include Knysna with its famous lagoon and Heads, Plettenberg Bay for whale watching and marine activities, the ancient forests around Wilderness, and Tsitsikamma National Park with its suspension bridge over the Storms River Mouth. Adventure seekers can bungee jump from the Bloukrans Bridge — at 216 metres, the world's highest commercial bungee jump.
