Early morning light washes the Atlantic Road as a driver checks the manifest and loads bags into a comfortable private vehicle. Over five days the coast alternates between wind-scored cliffs, stands of ancient yellowwood, and low fynbos that brush the highway — the Garden Route revealed not as a single place but a string of landscapes moving at road pace.
