In the heart of South Africa's famous Garden Route, a captivating world of lakes, rivers, estuaries and beaches gently unfolds against a backdrop of lush forest and lofty mountains – all elements that characterise the Wilderness Section of the Garden Route National Park. Nature trails wind through densely wooded forest and along tranquil rivers, affording you the opportunity to encounter the brilliantly coloured Knysna Lourie, or one of the five kingfisher species that occur here.
One of the most wonderful beaches on the Garden Route, Brenton on Sea lies just on the other side of the Knysna Western Heads. A long curved bay, the beach is ideal for walks all the way to Buffels Bay where you can enjoy lunch or just an icecream, and stroll back.
