Route 62

Malaria free Big Five safaris set in spectacular surroundings and a temperate climate are what make the Garden Route Safari area so special. Being malaria free the area is great for families and those wanting to spend a few days on safari as an add on to their beach vacation. Combine a Big FIve safari with a whale watching trip to see the infamous Big Six.

Nicknamed the 'Garden of Eden' the Coastal Route winds along the N2 road on the south eastern coast of South Africa. Seaside holiday towns like Plettenberg Bay and Knysna are great bases from which to explore the beaches, forests, lakes and surrounding mountains. Adventure junkies will love this area... and then so will everyone else.
