In The Night Garden Bike

"So where is the Garden Route? You ask. It is a 200km section of the South African coast that extends from the town of Mossel Bay just the other side of the Tsitsikamma National Park. I recently took the time to return to the Garden Route, this time to research what exciting fun things you can do on the Garden Route. This is a fabulous destination and a certain "must" for anyone visiting South Africa. To sum up the Garden Route, I would call "adventure activities and outdoor golf Mecca of South Africa!" I put together some suggestions here for your trip on the Garden Route.

Scenic: Well, there are a couple of scenic drives on the Garden Route and depending on how long you have and where you are in the night you could include them on your itinerary.

1. Swartberg Pass near Oudtshoorn and Meiringspoort - a trip to enjoy a beautiful day with a picnic stop at a beautiful waterfall in Meiringspoort, spectacular mountain scenery and panoramas.
2. September road passes, the original route between George and Knysna - dense forest peoples, the tannin-rich black-water rivers, steep gorges and prolific birdlife.
3. Montagu - pass through the majestic Outeniqua Mountains between George and Oudtshoorn, the original route, built in 1848 with convicts.

Mossel Bay
