The Garden Route Of The South African Southern Cape Area - A Wonderland Of Beaches And Forests.
If you ever visit South Africa, you should definitely include the Garden Route area in the south of the country in your itinerary. This is a stretch of coastline beginning at Mossel Bay and ending at the Tsitsikamma Forest in the east (near the town of Plettenberg Bay). Between these to points you will find a number of quaint resort towns, as well as the commercial hub of the area, George.
Arriving from Cape Town, you will first encounter Mossel Bay. This historical old town with its many finely preserved colonial buildings has an atmosphere and charm all of its own. It lagged behind the other Garden Route towns in development for many years, but nowadays it bursts at the seams with luxury hotels and guest houses. Standards are high: We could not help to notice that our hotel even had baby bath tubs available for those who travel with a baby.
The twin towns of Groot Brak River and Klein Brak River are situated a few km east of Mossel Bay. Both have been holiday hotspots for countless South Africans for generations. When the Northern hemisphere is sighing under a mantle of snow during winter, it's of course summertime in South Africa. This is part of the reason why the country is getting more and more overseas visitors during the European winter.
George is the major town of the region. Here you will find all modern conveniences like shopping malls, movies and loads of good restaurants. To the east of George lies the renowned coastal resort town of Wilderness. Once again wide open white sandy beaches and many restaurants. Over weekends you will also find live music at many of these restaurants. I prefer to make my own music though: my Martin acoustic electric guitar, has been a source of great pleasure for many an evening.
Once you leave Wilderness, the road meanders through a series of green hills with the occasional glimpse of the sapphire blue Indian Ocean in the distance. The town of Sedgefield is in an area with numerous stunning lakes and is therefore equally popular with tourists. Our guide book mentioned that there's a fine costume jewelry wholesale distributor in town, but we couldn't find it.
About sixty kilometers from George the road enters the historical town of Knysna. Situated on the shores of a lagoon, it boasts a charming waterfront area with numerous restaurants and curio shops. Thirty years ago Knysna only came alive during summer, but nowadays the town is swarming with tourists throughout the year.
The last town on the route is Plettenberg Bay. This is where the wealthy and well-known hang out to see and be seen. There's a legion of upmarket hotels and guest houses and just as many restaurants. A few km further to the east you arrive at the eastern border of the Garden Route - the Tsitsikamma rain forest. Here you will forget for a few hours that you are only 200km away from the semi-desert Karroo region - it's a haven of waterfalls and ferns and you might even run into one of the few remaining elephants in the forest.
