Garden Route Safari

South Africa’s Garden Route, spread out along the coast like a giant natural theme park, is a rich tapestry of very large trees, freshwater lakes and deep gorges. Whether you’re paragliding over sandy white beaches, spotting dolphins and whales from the air or exploring the deep indigenous forests; it’s a place where nature rules, and it does so beautifully.

While outdoor activities take centre stage on a Garden Route Safari holiday, fine food and drink are always at hand – this is South Africa’s oyster capital after all.

With some of the country’s best beaches and a climate that is perfectly suited to playing outdoors, Garden Route holidays closely follow Cape Town holidays as being the most popular in South Africa.

Great weather makes the Garden Route a year round destination, meaning that when to travel to the Garden Route is less important than what you do when you’re there.
