A vacation in a national park is a dream come true. And visiting the Garden Route National Park allows you to do so in style. Located in the heart of the park, Knysna is the perfect base camp for exploring the natural diversity and cultural history of the Garden Route without having to deal with the hassles of camping.
The Knysna National Lakes Area, Tsitsikamma- and Wilderness National Parks were amalgamated to form the greater Garden Route National Park in 2009, along with a variety of Cape fynbos, indigenous forest and mountain catchment areas.
One of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the world, the park offers a large variety of land and water based activities. And from the Knysna Lakes Area it is easy to discover all of them. So be sure to pack the kiteboards, mountainbikes, fishing rods, trail running shoes and sunscreen, because in Knysna you’re sure to spend most of your time outside!
