About The Garden Route - South Africa.

The Garden Route, South Africa's 'Garden of Eden', stretches from Mossel Bay to Tsitsikamma . This stretch of land is graced with South Africa's most beautiful white beaches, tranquil lagoons and seaside villages. For those who feel adventurous, explore the lush indigenous forests with majestic trees and deep river gorges.

The South Africa Garden Route is a narrow coastal belt between the Indian Ocean on the one side, and mountain ranges parallel with the coast, where the distance between coast and mountains can range between 10 - 25 kilometres. Cold fronts move in over the Indian Ocean and the mountain ranges will stop these cold fronts with abundant rainfall on this narrow coastal belt. This creates a perfectrain forest situation, and from there the lush, evergreen vegitation - "The Garden Route of South Africa".

It also creates a situation where, beyond the high mountain ranges, areas which can be described as "semi - desert" - areas with very low rainfall - the areas referred to as the Little Karoo, and has become world reknowned as the Ostrich Capital of the World - Oudtshoorn.

The town of Oudtshoorn is blessed to have a unique mountain range known as the "Swartberg Mountain Range" - Black Mountain Range directly translated - which has extraordinary stalactite and stalacmite formations, which are known as the Famous Cango Caves. The Cango Caves are the second most visited natural attraction in South Africa, just behind Table Mountain in Cape Town.
