Most travellers start their Garden Route trip from Cape Town though it is just as easy to start in Port Elizabeth. It's the perfect place for a road trip - the ideal self-drive destination with good roads, easy access and a range of highlights to keep you entertained for weeks on end! Look out for the protected Fynbos (fine bush) flaura that is synonymous with the Garden Route.
The first section of the Garden Route is known as the Whale Route & the Overberg. Southern Right Whales visit South Africa's shores to calve, and in season towns such as Hermanus offer great land based whale watching.

The Coastal Route runs from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth past spectacular beaches. Why not combine some time on the beach with one of our Malaria Free Garden Route Safaris. Some of our favourite lodges include Blaauwbosch, Sanbona, Gondwana, Kariega as well as Shamwari Private Game Reserve.
