10 reasons why you should explore Knysna

Looking to get 2018 of the best possible start? It’s never too early for a road trip – and a stop at the coastal Garden Route town of Knysna is the ideal destination.

Knysna is a natural paradise of lush, indigenous forests, tranquil lakes and golden beaches. If you’re looking for a break from the busy city life, you’ll find peace here. All you really need is good company and a reliable set of wheels (Car rental Cape Town is cheap and easy if you need a vehicle).

It is never a bad idea to stop at Kaaimans and admire the beauty of the Garden Route when you’re heading to Knysna from Cape Town. Only half an hour from Knysna, the Kaaimans river offers a lot for the adventurous and nature loving.

Travelling through South Africa

Public transport in South Africa is quite sparse, and most attractions are generally far from each other, therefore we recommend car rental or a larger mini bus (for groups) when visiting. Your Uber bill might be a shock otherwise.
