Next stop is Knysna, less than a two hour drive away, over the beautiful Outeniqua Mountain pass.
Knysna is a beautiful village by a lagoon, boasting lots of shops, art, restaurants and activities. And oysters. Again, so many places to visit and see. We recommend some of the beautiful hiking trails, featherbed nature reserve, the lagoon, sundown boat trips and much more.
