Garden Route

The Garden Route is one of Africa's most famous road trips, stretching along South Africa's southern coastline in the Western Cape. Driving the route is an experience in itself, with winding roads leading through dense forests, along rocky shores, and past idyllic lagoons. Along the way, you can explore some of the country's most beautiful national parks, including Tsitsikamma National Park with its suspension bridges, hiking trails, and wild coastal landscapes. The area is also renowned for excellent whale watching, especially in towns like Hermanus, where southern right whales can be seen up close from the shore during the season. The Garden Route combines adventure, nature, and relaxation, offering everything from hiking and kayaking to wine tasting and cozy beach towns.
