Garden Route

Although the Republic of South Africa has a savannah climate, the entire Garden Route spans an oceanic climate, with mild summers and cool winters. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it has the mildest climate in South Africa and the second mildest climate in the world after Hawaii. The temperature in winter is rarely lower than 10°C, and in summer it is rarely higher than 28°C.

Driving on the Garden Route in South Africa, you may not realize that at this time almost the entire landmass of the earth is placed to the north of you, because you are driving on a road at the southernmost tip of the African continent. With miles and miles of beautiful white-sand beaches about 280 kilometers from Cape Town, the Garden Route is one of South Africa's richest botanical treasure troves. The main route of the Garden Route, a must-see for many tourists, runs from Heidelberg in the Southern Cape to the Storm River estuary on the Eastern Cape border. The Garden Route has countless places to explore and play: the seaside town of Mossel Bay, the ostrich capital of Oudtshoorn, the largest city of George, beautiful Knysna And one of the national parks, Wilderness, Plettenberg Bay, and Tsitsikamma National Park are all major tourist attractions. One of the most not to be missed is the small town of Nessna, which has incredible ocean and mountain views, and a tranquil lagoon – the best sailing yachting and fishing in South Africa. In addition, natural oysters are also a specialty of Nessna, and even the most discerning gourmets think that Nessna's oysters are the best in the world.

The Garden Route is very beautiful, ranging from modern golf courses to virgin forests, from wildlife sanctuaries to resort beaches. The whole tour usually requires a minimum of 4 days and 3 nights or a longer stay in order to visit every town along the way in depth. Facing the blue sea and green mountains and listening to the sounds of nature leisurely, it is a rare experience.
