Stretching just over 180 miles between Mossel Bay and Port Elizabeth, the Garden Route's ocean-hugging highway is interspersed with iridescent lagoons, lush forests, majestic mountains, stunning sandy beaches and welcoming towns, all of which make for a magical road trip. To ensure you see multiple hotspots and have time to enjoy the myriad of unique activities on offer, we recommend allowing four to five days to explore.

The Garden Route Travel Guide
Best time to go
The Garden Route has a Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers (November to March) and mild to chilly winters (June to August). It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean. Any time of year is good for visiting the area, depending if you prefer a bustling summer holiday destination or peaceful retreat during the winter months.
Travel Information
The Garden Route is half a day’s drive from Cape Town. Alternatively, the town of George has an airport with internal flights available from Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg.
