We can recommend a stop along the way at Cape Agulhas, this is where the official meeting point is of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and is also the most Southern Tip of Africa.
Today continue your drive to the Garden Route. Some recommended stops along the way are Albertinia which is famous for its aloe production and there are some factories you can stop to visit on the road side. Mossel Bay also has an interesting history and there are some lovely places to have lunch while overlooking the ocean.
Arrive in Knysna in the afternoon and check-in at your accommodation, use the rest of the afternoon and evening to explore. We can also recommend a sunset cruise or sail on the Knysna Lagoon.

Today we suggest you drive a little further along the Garden Route to Plettenberg Bay and even further along to Tsitsikamma and if you are an adrenalin junkie the highest bungee jump in the World at Bloukrans! Plettenberg Bay offers a range of interesting animal sanctuaries to visit for the wildlife enthusiast, also there are boat trips to look for whales (May-November) and dolphins and some wonderful hiking trails for all levels.
