Stationen dieser Tour (13)

1. 1
   George — Outeniqua Pass The Outeniqua Mountains form the Garden Route's inland wall. George sits at their foot — a timber town turned university city. The Outeniqua Power Van offers a scenic rail experience.
2. 2
   Wilderness — Kaaimans River Bridge A beach village named by a hermit farmer. The Map of Africa viewpoint reveals a river bend shaped exactly like the continent. Lakes, lagoons, and estuaries create an aquatic wonderland.
3. 3
   Knysna — The Heads Two massive sandstone cliffs guard the entrance to the Knysna Lagoon. Only 200 meters wide, the channel between The Heads is one of the most treacherous harbor entrances in Africa.
4. 4
   Knysna Forest — Big Tree The last great indigenous forest in South Africa. The Outeniqua yellowwood — the "Big Tree" — is over 800 years old and 46 meters tall. The Knysna elephants, numbering perhaps three, hide here.
5. 5
   Plettenberg Bay Plettenberg Bay's golden beaches curve between rocky headlands. Southern right whales calve here from July to November, and the Robberg Nature Reserve juts into the Indian Ocean.
6. 6
   Robberg Nature Reserve A peninsula hike around the Robberg reveals seal colonies, blow holes, and a shell midden — evidence of Khoisan habitation stretching back 120,000 years, some of the oldest evidence of human activity on Earth.
7. 7
   Bloukrans Bridge — Bungee Jump The world's highest commercial bungee jump — 216 meters from the bridge to the gorge floor. Even if you don't jump, the bridge walk and Face Adrenalin viewing deck are extraordinary.
8. 8
   Tsitsikamma National Park — Storms River Mouth Where the Storms River meets the Indian Ocean through a dramatic gorge. The suspension bridge sways above the river mouth, and otters play in the rocky pools.
9. 9
   Big Tree Trail — Tsitsikamma An 800-year-old Outeniqua yellowwood towers 36 meters above the forest floor. The Tsitsikamma forest is a remnant of the vast woods that once blanketed South Africa's southern coast.
10. 10
    Storms River Village A tiny forest village that serves as the base for canopy tours and gorge hikes. The Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour is the original zipline experience in South Africa — pioneered here in 2003.
11. 11
    Bloukrans Pass The N2 highway crosses the Bloukrans River on the highest single-span concrete bridge in Africa. The drive through the Tsitsikamma forest is dense, green, and ancient.
12. 12
    Nature's Valley A hidden beach village accessible only via the Groot River Pass. The lagoon, surrounded by forest that stretches to the sand, is one of the most beautiful coastal settings in South Africa.
13. 13
    Monkeyland Primate Sanctuary A free-roaming primate sanctuary where lemurs, gibbons, and howler monkeys live in natural forest. The canopy walkway crosses above the forest floor where the primates play.
