activities in the area

The activities in this area are designed for everyone no matter what your fitness level. You can take a gentle stroll along a forest path or sit quietly in a wooden bird-hide and discover our wealth of bird life with a experienced birding guide.

You can go without a guide and see if you can catch the otters playing or the beautiful Malachite Kingfisher diving for fish. Keen birders will spot forest species as well as grassland, wetland, shore and marine birds. Bird hides have been carefully situated at Rondevlei and Langvlei. The walks and hikes through Wilderness National Park (2500ha) and the adjoining reserves are ideal for discovering the many birds, plants and animals of this unique area.

  • Some of the other Garden Route attractions you have access to are:

    • The Cango Caves and Ostrich farms.
    • Outeniqua hiking trails.
    • Museums.
    • Monkey land.
    • Knysna Elephant Park.
    • Tsitsikama forests.
  
A wonderful holiday destination for the whole family.
