September is International Tourism Month and, because nothing’s more fun than a sho’t left, if you’re planning a trip during this time, Knysna is the natural choice. With the theme Tourism and Water – Protecting our Common Future, Knysna ticks all the boxes this Tourism Month: more water based activities than you can imagine, and a commitment to preserving our natural heritage. As September is also Heritage Month, there’s hardly a better time to gooi that sho’t left and discover your country – starting with Knysna.
While Knysna protects its water – not only its quality but also the continued supply thereof to residents and visitors, Knysna is also South Africa’s biggest natural water park! With almost ten beaches on our doorstep, the famous Knysna estuary at our feet and countless lakes, rivers and estuaries in our backyard, the Knysna Lakes Section of the greater Garden Route National Park is the perfect break-away destination for all water babies.
September offers some of the best whale watching experiences imaginable, but there’s also surfing, stand up paddling, canoeing, kite surfing, swimming, fishing, diving, snorkelling, skiing, sailing – the list is endless! And if you prefer to take things easy on your break, there’s nothing better than a leisurely stroll along a pristine beach or a sundowner enjoyed from the deck while floating on the Knysna estuary.
Nothing better, that is, than heading back to your comfortable accommodation after a hard day’s playing!
And when it comes to Protecting our Common Future, the members of the Knysna Accommodation Association are all committed to doing business in a sustainable, earth-friendly way. So you can have the time of your life in Knysna, knowing that we’re doing whatever we can to ensure that you get to repeat the experience, and that your children and your children’s children can follow in your footsteps – follow them all the way to Knysna.
