This is the best travel log of Garden Route I’ve seen ! We live in Plett and you have done an excellent job of showcasing our beautiful country . So professional! Come back !
A very professionally produced video. Most enjoyable to watch and brings back many memories of places I visited many times over the years. Thank you so much ❤❤❤
Actually if you take a look from the Garden Route District Municipality point of view, it is included. It's commonly accepted as being part of both the Garden Route & Klein Karoo region
This is great and very helpful, thank you (your videos are the best about SA I have found so far). What time of the year were you there? I am planning to visit in June, so I guess the scenery would be a lot different.
Wow! I am South African from the City of Johannesburg, I thought let me commend you for covering Garden Route very well... It is amazingly beautiful... and you are correct there is more to explore there. We had a 2 weeks vacation earlier this year and it was certainly not even enough to fully cover the fun activities, I cannot wait to relocate to Plettenberg Bay later this year, it is like an island, our new home for sure, the landscapes was breathtaking 😍...You brought back a lot of memories, I have enjoyed watching your video, well done 👍
We visited twice so we combined the footage! The first time was about 5 days and this time about 8 days! We spent the night at most places but not all. We slept in Oudtshoorn, Mossel Bay, Wilderness, Knysna, Plett and Storms River. Some places like Plett and Knysna are great to base for a few nights and explore from there
We were here in January which is summer! August is possible but bring a warm jacket because it will be cool 😊 it’s also a great time for whale watching!
We would do it this way: 5 days for Cape Town and then the rest for Garden Route! You can drive the coastal highway to the Garden Route and stay in Hermanus for a day or two. Then head from there to Wilderness (1 night), Plett (2-3 nights), and Storms Rivier (1 night). Then head back through Oudtshoorn (1 night) and the Wine Region (2 nights) to Cape Town.
Just curious but you never mentioned safety once. Are all the walking routes safe to undertake without tagging on to a group. Knysna also gets some bad press for water quality etc. Appreciate the video but there is nothing worse than being sold an experience, getting there to discover there are issues not mentioned (especially as you may have children with you)
we found the area to be very safe. No issues for us. Parkings are always guarded (you need to tip the guard) and trails are well-trotten and safe. We did say to just be careful with leaving stuff behind in the car. Put everything in the trunk, not visible anywhere. The ocean can be rough in most places (actually everywhere in South Africa the ocean seems to have strong currents), so be careful when swimming. We didn’t swim in the ocean, instead there are some small lagoons you can swim in which is safer
I am from India 72 years old myself and my wife are going to visit South Africa next month please suggest us the places feasible for on garden route.. thanks
If you are Indian, then put Durban on your list as well. There is a massive Indian community in the city and has their own South African Indian culture. 😊
All places are accessible by car so you could see all of them. You might want to skip the hikes, Tsitsikamma, and the bungee jumping. Mossel Bay, Oudtshoorn, Wilderness, Knysna and Plettenberg Bay are all feasible.

Thank you! 😎 that’s the nicest town to live!

Beautiful video. South Africa is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

Third option to drive via N1 and R60 passing Worcester, Robertson and Ashton back on to the N2 at Swellendam. Beautiful wine estates along the way.
love that route myself
Thanks!
Thank you for the super thanks! 🙏🙏
If you don't wanna drive from Cape Town you can fly in to George from Cape Town, Joburg or Durban😉
I live in the wilderness, western cape. I feel that you made a beautiful video and covered most places very well, well done
Thanks!
This is stunning
I live in Johannesburg and you absolutely make me want to explore my own beautiful country!
Many thanks for this. The best Holiday i have ever had was the Garden Route back in the early 1990's. I adored Knysna . I would love to retire here .
So beautiful there!
Based on your films from the south of South Africa, I planned a trip for my friends. Thank you very much for the excellent film and information.
Nice to hear! Enjoy your trip together 😊🇿🇦
This is the best video I’ve found so far about the Garden Route. We are going there in Dec.
Looking forward to it. Thanks!🤩
Thank you! ☺️ enjoy your trip.
@@worldwildheartsThank you:)
Looking forward to it
Ah the memories :) Wonderful video!
Thanks! 😊
Oudtshoorn is not part of the Garden Route though. It is part of the Klein Karoo that borders the Garden Route by mountain ranges.

Thank you! We were there in January so it was technically summer there! 😉 it will be different indeed!
Beautiful production! Well done…

Thank you! It is such an awesome place! you thinking of moving to Plett?
excelent video ..good work ,
I love the drone shots. I have my part-107 in the United States, but obviously, that's not applicable. But, what must I do to fly a DJI Mini there?
God bless you
Very helpful and well made
Awesome ❤
Great video
Loved the video, very helpful! How long did it take for the whole trip? Did you spend the night in each of these stops?

This is a cracking good vid !
Truly informative ...
And will stand everyone in good stead that comes across it 👍🏻
Thanks! ☺️
Why did you miss the amazing Conservationist Centre, Cango WildlifeRanch.?
Which month of the year did you do this? I am still wondering if mid August can be a good idea or not
We were here in January which is summer! August is possible but bring a warm jacket because it will be cool 😊 it’s also a great time for whale watching!
We have big storms in winter, temps are cold by SA standards but on the coast is rarely below 15 c
I have a plan of 14 days for both Cape town & garden route. What's your advice how many days should I split it and where to stay??
We would do it this way: 5 days for Cape Town and then the rest for Garden Route! You can drive the coastal highway to the Garden Route and stay in Hermanus for a day or two. Then head from there to Wilderness (1 night), Plett (2-3 nights), and Storms Rivier (1 night). Then head back through Oudtshoorn (1 night) and the Wine Region (2 nights) to Cape Town.
Addo Elephant Park is great and come back on route 62😀

i dont have international driving liscence , do police ask for that during check points/ pull over ?
We didn't need an international one. Just bring your driving license from home, that should be okay if it has English on it!
🎉
I have visited these places but there is no tourism! Such a pity!
Kinda nice to explore with only few tourists 😄
You guys skipped George. It is the capital of the Garden Route.
We visited, but it's just another city in our opinion 😅 the Garden Route really is about the beautiful nature we believe!
I'd rather add Vic Bay on, George is now a large residential town
Herolds bay is also one of the wonderful seaside areas to visit in George.
Done this twice
Same!! 😄
Yes but rather buy water if you can yk
Always best to ask the host first! But we had no issues anywhere :D
👋🏼Nice video mate! I really hope my Small Travel Channel can grow as yours 😅
