The famous "Garden Route" of the Western Cape is an area of stunning and diverse scenery. From white sandy beaches to rugged mountain passes. Fashionable seaside resorts sit side by side with fishing villages and country towns making this probably one of the most visted areas of South Africa.

Mountains crowd close to a shoreline dotted with beaches and bays, and vividly coloured wild flowers delight the eye. Between Heidelberg & Storms River, the Garden Route runs parallel to a coastline featuring lakes, mountains, tall indigenous forests, amber -coloured rivers and golden beaches. Meandering trails are followed by hikers, the forests invite long, leisurely drives, and the lakes and rivers lend themselves to swimming boating and fishing.

A wide range of leisure options, spectacular scenery and a mild climate guarantee an unforgettable holiday experience. The region provides a stirring study in contrasts. The delightful town of George, known as "The Gateway to the Garden Route", graces a coastal plateau in a fertile area of lush greenery at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains. Oudtshoorn, "Capital of the Klein Karoo", is set in a semi-arid valley, providing the ideal habitat for ostriches which are farmed here on a grand scale.
