Garden Route: Where the Forests Meet the Ocean

South Africa's Garden Route, spread out along the coast like a giant natural theme park, is a rich tapestry of very large trees, freshwater lakes and some big mountains.

Whether you are paragliding over sandy white beaches, spotting dolphins and whales from the air or cruising the deep blue ocean; it's a place where nature rules, and it does so beautifully.

While outdoor activities take centre stage in this natural theatre, fine food and drink are always at hand - this is South Africa's oyster capital after all.

With some of the country's best beaches and a climate that is perfectly suited to playing outdoors, the Garden Route has long established itself as South Africa's most popular tourist destination after Cape Town.

Garden Route accommodation is plentiful in these parts with everything from five star luxury to clear-starred camping sites. There is something for all tastes and pockets, but you do want to pre-book in season as this region is extremely popular with locals and international visitors.

One of the best ways to experience the highlights of the Garden Route is on a Luxury Garden Route that combines all your interests.

Try the Classic Garden Route Tour that takes in Oudtshoorn and Plettenberg Bay or for a combination Garden Route and rest of South Africa the Garden Route Meander Tour will complete a great Garden Route holiday.
