South Africa’s Garden Route stretches along its southern coast from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to the Storms River in the Eastern Cape, and includes areas within the arid Klein Karoo. The area’s diverse natural beauty makes it a favourite local and international destination. Knysna is conveniently situated at the heart of the Garden Route, making it the preferred destination of discerning travellers.
Unspoilt beaches, acres of Cape fynbos, the indigenous forest and vast lakes, estuaries and rivers make the Garden Route the ultimate nature lover’s paradise. The area offers unique animal sightings and experiences, a multitude of outdoor and adventure activities and, of course some of the continent’s best golfing.
Here are some of our favourite activities in and around Knysna – after playing our Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, of course. Please note that this list is by no means exhaustive and our friendly staff will be very happy to assist you with any bookings or more information on these and other great products throughout the Garden Route.
