Garden Route: Slang River to Tsitsikamma

Housing several forest and marine reserves, and offering snorkelling, scuba diving, boat trips to see dolphins, whales and sharks, hiking, parasailing, golf, kayaking and more—South Africa’s Garden Route offers the country’s best beaches, lagoons and scenic road trips. Wedged in-between the Indian Ocean and the mountains, it would be as easy to take a week or a year to explore all on offer while gorging on brilliantly fresh seafood (especially oysters at Krysna). Surfers have two options for paradise: the Victoria Bays and the Mossel Bays. Highest bungee jump in the world from the top of Bloukrans Bridge is a great addition to the wonders of this route.
