Mossel Bay at the start of the Garden Route has not much to offer in itself, being a fairly industrialised town with the harbour supplying off-shore natural gas installations.
George, which considers itself the capital of the Garden Route, is a pleasant enough little town, but travelling a little further brings you to the Wilderness Park, part of the Garden Route National Park. Here a complex of lakes, rivers and estuaries is both scenic and offers great canoeing opportunities.
At last, we will reach Knysna after a 5-6 hoursÂ’ drive. We will go directly to see Plettenburg Bay, which is resort town with mountains, white sands and crystal clear blue water. After spending few hours we will come back to Knysna, which is only half-an hour journey from Plettenburg. Knysna is situated on South Africa's only National Lake, which is also the country's largest permanent estuary. The enchanting town of Knysna is surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountain range, engulfed by indigenous forests and the protected 21 square kilometre marine reserve, locally better known as the 'Lagoon'. The Knysna Lagoon is best known for its most unique industry, oyster farming. To the oyster lovers this could only mean sheer self-indulgence.
