The Route
After your stay in Cape Town you drive along the famous Garden Route (N2) into the Mediterranean lagoon landscape of the town of Knysna.
Knysna is one of the famous holiday destinations in the South Cape and is located between lush forests and the lagoon shores.
In Tsitsikamma National Park, you first cross Bloukrans Bridge – Africa’s highest bungee bridge at 216 metres. From Storm River Village, for example, you can go on a canopy tour and swing from treetop to treetop on steel ropes. And at the Storms River Mouth, where the river flows into the sea, you can walk in beautiful nature and over the suspension bridge, under which you can also go canoeing. After your safari experience in the Addo Elephant Park, you continue along the Wild Coast with its rugged, pristine coastline, fairytale forests and crystal clear waters. You will pass Coffee Bay on your way north, often referred to as the central location of the Wild Coast. Another landmark is the spectacular rock formation „Hole in the Wall“.
