The Garden Route is a magnificent stretch of coast with breathtaking scenery stretching from Heidelberg to the Tsitsikamma forest and the Storms River. This is a region of great natural beauty, creating a paradise graced with evergreen forests, lakes, golden beaches and exquisite fauna and flora, so named because this region, from Cape Town northeast to Port Elizabeth, has more plants than the entire continent of Europe. Here a Mediterranean climate prevails and unique plants and animals abound. Over 3000 plant species comprise the "fynbos" which includes the spectacular proteas and ericas.
This vegetation is not found in a native state anywhere else on earth. The cities of Swellendam, Mossel Bay, George and Oudtshoorn are charming and quaint. The vast Cango Caves, reputedly one of the world's most naturally colorful and scenic wonders, can also be seen in this region. Other attractions include the Tsitsikamma National Park with its lush indigenous forests of giant yellowwood trees and the Addo Elephant Park, known for its elephants. And along the route, a number of charming bed and breakfast country inns await.
