Long recognised as one of South Africa’s favourite towns, Knysna is a tourism town with a conscience and invites responsible travellers to share in its latest awards. Recently making waves because of its innovative and unique Naturally Knysna initiative, this jewel of the Garden Route has just been named Conde Nast Travel’s second best city in Africa and two of its beaches have been afforded the coveted Blue Flag status.
Now we have always known that our beaches are amongst the best in the world, but it’s great to see that the rest of the world is finally catching on and recognising our beaches for the pristine gems that they are by awarding the beaches at Buffel’s Bay and Brenton on Sea with Blue Flag status.
There are 36 Blue Flag beaches along the South African coastline, with nine of them proudly flying on beaches between Mosselbay and Bitou – but our two Blue Flag beaches are unique in that you can take a leisurely stroll from one Blue Flag beach, right onto another!
But our Blue Flags aren’t the only things we’re proud of at the moment. More than 8million international readers rated Knysna as the second best city in Africa during Conde Nast Travel’s annual Best in the World survey. Second only to Cape Town, Knysna tops cities like Marrakech and Fez in Morocco and Cairo in Egypt in the list of top five African cities.
