The Garden Route is a breathtaking stretch of coastline that spans over 300 kilometers along South Africaās southern coast. Beginning in the Western Cape city of Mossel Bay and ending at Storms River in the Eastern Cape, this iconic route is known for its lush forests, dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and diverse wildlife. In this video, we show 10 highlights along the Garden Route. All of the places we mention are relatively close to each other and are possible to visit in a 5-10 day road trip. If you have less time, you can also pick and choose which activities interest you most when planning your own adventure to this area.
