More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A day on the Garden Route often begins with the low hum of an airport shuttle pulling away from George Airport and slipping south along the N2. Through the bus windows the landscape changes fast: the low koppies and eucalyptus around George give way to pockets of fynbos, the estuarine silver of Knysna, and the broad blue arc of Plettenberg Bay’s beaches. The ride is both practical and scenic — a moving preview of coastal cliffs, pine plantations, and tidal lagoons that define this stretch of South Africa’s southern coast.
