The Garden Route This is a narrow  coastal belt running from Mossel Bay in the west to Port Elizabeth in the east and containing some of South Africa's finest beaches and fynbos coastline .

You can traverse mountains, explore caves, bike through forests, encounter white sharks and giant Southern Right Whales, taste wines and boat down the rivers and lakes of South Africa's most famous Garden.
