From Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, the Garden Route is one of South Africa's premier destinations.
The bit of South Africa between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth is called the Garden Route and this is where most South Africans would like to live. The weather is mild, the beaches are beautiful and there are lots of bars and restaurants along the way. The emotional capital is Knysna and Plettenberg, where the garden is at its most lush, the sea at its most beautiful and the oysters at their best; George is the nondescript administrative centre and Oudtshoorn the cultural champion of the Great Karoo and Route 62.
