Garden Route, South Africa
The Garden Route, a beautiful area between Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, is renowned for its pristine beaches, indigenous forests and nature reserves. This coastal drive links a series of charming towns and villages which offer quaint restaurants, interesting locals and the sparkling Indian Ocean.
Golfers will love the Garden Route which has several championship courses for you to play including Gary Player’s famous Links Course at Fancourt and the brand new Pezula Golf Course.
The Garden Route's stunning scenery and Mediterranean maritime climate is ideal for outdoor activities. And as luck would have it, almost every kind of adventure activity is possible; scuba diving, abseiling, dolphin cruises and elephant encounters to name a few. For an active holiday the Garden Route is tops. Families will enjoy the many great kids activities as well, such as visiting the monkeys at Monkeyland or gliding fearlessly in the treetops with Storms River Adventures.
A great way to end off a Garden Route holiday is with a malaria free safari in the Eastern Cape a short drive away. There are camps and lodges to suit all tastes with some of the lodges catering to honeymooners and others with superb kids programmes.
