From the regional World / Areas
Garden Route
The Garden Route follows the south coast from around Mossel Bay toward Storms River, linking towns, lagoons and wooded mountain scenery. It calls for an onward trip.
Cape Town / Your next move
Bring this chapter to life.
Keep exploring Cape Town with our travel partners.
This region offers a different landscape from Cape Town: coastal lakes and lagoons, the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains, and towns such as Knysna and Plettenberg Bay. Its length makes it a road journey in its own right, rather than a quick extension of a day in the city.
What to look for
Lagoons and lakes break up the coast around Knysna.
The Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains rise inland from the shore.
Useful to know
Plan the Garden Route as a separate onward journey from Cape Town.
Choose a smaller section if time is limited; the whole coast is not one stop.
