More about the Garden Route

Spanning from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth. The Garden Route is a very scenic area, from the deserts of the Karoo, to pretty seaside towns and white sandy beaches. It makes the ideal destination for just about anyone.

The first section of the Garden Route is known as the Whale Route, Southern Right Whales annually visit South Africa's shores to calve, and in season towns such as Hermanus offer great land based whale watching. The Route 62 takes you through the Little Karoo, and is home to some of South Africa’s most breathtaking mountain passes. The Coastal Route runs from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth (PE) and is the most traditional of the Garden Route journeys. From PE travellers often enjoy a Malaria Free Garden Route Safari at one of the many new lodges in the area. Two of our favourites include Blaauwbosch and Kariega.
