Sandwiched between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean in the heart of the Garden Route, Knysna is known as the ‘Garden of Eden’. Knysna is located on a vast lagoon, sheltered from the sea by two mountain ridges, known as the eastern and western “Heads”. In its vicinity are dense indigenous forests, lagoons and pristine beaches.
Visitors can look forward to an array of markets in the area, offering organic food and locally-made crafts, explore the town’s Waterfront and quaint streets, hike through the forests, hopefully catching a glimpse of the multi-coloured Knysna Loerie, take a ferry trip to the Heads or to the famed Featherbed Nature Reserve on the Western Knysna Head and sample the local oysters, which Knysna is famous for.
With Knysna as a base for a couple of days, guests can visit Monkeyland, an extensive primate sanctuary and Birds of Eden, the biggest free-flight aviary in Africa, the Tsitsikamma National Park, the Big Tree and a number of vineyards on the relatively new Garden Route Wine Route. A wide range of activities including surfing, swimming, yachting, jet-skiing, boating, fishing, and golfing can also be enjoyed here. (ITT)
