Knysna is a town in the Western Cape province and is one of the top holiday destinations along the Garden Route. Nestled on the banks of a breathtaking lagoon, there is nothing like its natural beauty - with indigenous forests, tranquil lakes, and golden beaches. Golfing, hiking and canopy tours can be enjoyed, and many leisure activities on the beach, mountains, and rivers offer fun for the whole family. Within the town, cosy cafés beckon with small-town charm and hospitality. A trip to Knysna would be incomplete without visiting the Heads, a rock formation of giant, brightly coloured rocks.
South Africa's dense Eastern Cape Bush is home to the famous Addo Elephant National Park. It's the third-largest park in the country after the Kruger and Kgalagadi Parks. More than 550 elephants reside here, along with herds of buffalo, black rhino, lion, and various antelope species such as Eland, Red Hartebeest, and Kudu. The malaria-free habitat enables tourists a chance to view animals up close. From luxury lodges to backpacker camps, visitors can find a range of accommodations. The region offers an array of recreational activities such as horse trails, hiking, 4x4ing, elephant back safaris and river cruises.
