Uncovering the Beauty of the Garden Route: A Guide to the Ultimate Road Trip Adventure

The Garden Route in South Africa provides outdoor activities for nature lovers as well as a variety of landscapes, charming towns, and cities. The best method to explore the area is by car. The best attractions to see and things to do along the Garden Route are outlined in this article.

Planning Your Route

The Garden Route is a short stretch of road that runs from Mossel Bay to Storms Rivier across a distance of about 300 km. However, there’s so much to see and do, it’s important to plan your route in advance and book your car rental in the Western Cape or Eastern Cape (wherever you start your journey) in advance. Some popular stops along the way include the Tsitsikamma National Park, where you can hike the famous Otter Trail, the Knysna Heads, where you can take a boat trip to spot the elusive Knysna Loerie, and the Storms River Mouth, for a guided kayak tour.

Off-the-Beaten Path Adventures

Even though the main road along the Garden Route is very popular, there are many undiscovered gems to discover. Visit the picturesque towns of Oudtshoorn and Montagu, go on a trek in the Outeniqua Mountains, or enjoy a leisurely drive along the Seven Passes Road. Go zip-lining in the Tsitsikamma Forest or bungee jump off the Bloukrans Bridge if you’re an adrenaline junkie.

Rent a Car in Western Cape or Eastern Cape

To truly experience the freedom and flexibility of a Garden Route road trip, renting a car is your best option. Finding a reliable Garden Route car rental company should be rather simple; just watch out for deals that offer insufficient free mileage. With your own car, you’ll have the ability to explore the region at your own pace, and make spontaneous stops along the way.

Enjoying the Journey

The journey itself is one of the nicest parts of driving the Garden Route. Enjoy the view and take your time. Take a break to take pictures, enjoy a picnic, or just take in the scenery. Keep in mind to drive safely and to follow all traffic regulations. And don’t forget to cherish the moments and create lifelong memories.
