Exploring The Garden Route — Things To Do and Places To Visit

Natural Wonders & Hiking Experiences Unique to the Garden Route

• Robberg Nature Reserve: This stunning peninsula near Plettenberg Bay offers three circular hiking routes ranging from 2.1km to 9.2km. The trails provide breathtaking coastal views, opportunities to spot Cape fur seals, and visible evidence of Stone Age inhabitants. The reserve’s unique geography showcases a “tombolo” (sand spit connecting an island to the mainland) – one of few examples worldwide.
• Tsitsikamma Forest and Coastal National Park: Home to the iconic Otter Trail and Storms River Mouth, this ancient forest meets dramatic coastline in spectacular fashion. Beyond the famous suspension bridges, explore the lesser-known Waterfall Trail (6km) that winds through pristine forest to a secluded waterfall. The region contains trees over 800 years old and marine protected areas harboring rare coral species.
• Map of Africa Viewpoint: This natural phenomenon where the Kaaimans River forms a perfect Africa-shaped oxbow is more than just a photo opportunity. The viewpoint overlooks ancient Khoi-San ancestral lands and features interpretive displays explaining indigenous connections to this landscape stretching back thousands of years.
• Knysna Forest: Made famous by Dalene Matthee’s novels, these ancient woodlands harbor secretive elephants, colorful Knysna turacos, and magnificent yellowwood trees. The Circles in the Forest Trail (9km) explores Matthee’s literary landscapes, while the Jubilee Creek short trail offers accessible forest bathing with picnic facilities beside crystal streams.

Cultural Experiences & Garden Route Heritage

• Judah Square Rastafarian Community: South Africa’s largest Rastafarian community welcomes respectful visitors to their settlement in Knysna. Community-led tours provide insight into Rastafarian philosophy, cultural practices, and sustainable living. Their small cultural center and craft market support local artisans and educational initiatives.
• Dias Museum Complex: This multi-faceted museum centers around the 1488 landing site of Bartholomeu Dias, the first European to round Africa’s southern tip. The complex includes South Africa’s oldest post office (a milkwood tree), ethnobotanical garden showcasing indigenous medicinal plants, and a full-size replica of Dias’s caravel that actually sailed from Portugal to South Africa in 1988.

Family-Friendly Garden Route Activities

• Knysna Elephant Park: Get up close with rescued elephants in a responsible sanctuary setting. The park offers educational tours where children can learn about elephant conservation while observing these magnificent creatures in a spacious, natural environment. Their specialized “Ellies for Littlies” program caters specifically to young children with age-appropriate interactions and storytelling.
• Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary (Plettenberg Bay): Explore the world’s first free-roaming multi-species primate sanctuary. Guided forest walks take families through natural habitat where rescued primates from capuchin monkeys to lemurs live freely. The elevated walkways make it accessible even for strollers, and knowledgeable guides adjust their presentations to captivate children of different ages.
• Redberry Farm (George): This family-owned berry farm offers year-round activities including strawberry picking (October-December), the largest hedge maze in the Southern Hemisphere, mini-train rides, bumper boats, and pony rides. Parents can enjoy the craft brewery and coffee shop while kids explore the playground and animal feeding area.
• Cango Wildlife Ranch (Oudtshoorn): Beyond the standard zoo experience, this conservation center offers junior keeper programs where children can learn about endangered species conservation. The “Cheetah Connection” program provides age-appropriate education about these majestic cats, while the junior reptile encounters teach children about snake safety and conservation.
• Tenikwa Wildlife Awareness Centre (Plettenberg Bay): This rehabilitation center offers guided tours where families learn about indigenous wild cats including caracals, servals and African wildcats. Their “Junior Rangers” program (available during school holidays) teaches children about wildlife conservation through hands-on activities like making enrichment toys for recovering animals.
