South Africa Dream Holidays
The Garden Route
The Garden Route enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm summers and mild winters. The Garden Route is one of the richest rainfall regions in South Africa. The rain, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean, falls at the weather side of the mountain slopes.

From there the possibilties are endless: take your pick at one of the many watersports available on the Knysna Lagoon, take a 3 hour steam train trip to Knysna, walk in a lush forest or the daring rugged Garden Route shoreline. At a special time of the year you may even be lucky enough to see some whales. Cape Town Car Rental »
