Garden Route National Park essentials

The Garden Route National Park spans the Western and Eastern Cape, preserving diverse ecosystems from marine reserves to indigenous Afromontane forests. This selection highlights the Knysna Heads' dramatic sandstone cliffs, the engineering of the Paul Sauer Bridge, and the ancient 800-year-old Outeniqua Yellowwood. Coastal highlights include the Storms River Mouth, where the suspension bridge crosses the gorge, and the Knysna Waterfront, a hub for lagoon excursions. The area also features ethical wildlife conservation at Jukani and varied terrain ranging from rocky shorelines to quiet estuaries.
