About the Garden Route
The Garden Route is a 300-kilometre stretch of the south-western
coast of South Africa, which extends from Mossel Bay in the
Western Cape to the Storms River in the Eastern Cape. The name
comes from the verdant and ecologically diverse vegetation
encountered here and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted
along the coast.
It has an oceanic climate, with mild to warm summers and mild to
cool winters. It has the mildest climate in SA and the second
mildest climate in the world, after Hawaii, according to the
Guinness Book of Records. Read More.
