From the Caves you travel to an Ostrich farm on the other end of Oudtshoorn. You will receive a tour of a working Ostrich farm and possibly have the opportunity to ride an ostrich. You are here to also learn more about ostrich breeding habits. You will hear about the bygone days when Oudtshoorn was in the midsts of the 1920’s ostrich feather boom.

The 4 days Garden Route tour adventure travels over the Outeniqua Mountains to Knysna. As you pass over mountain passes you will see how the scenery changes. This is when you understand why the area is known as the Garden Route.

You will arrive at the Knysna Quays Hotel in Knysna, where we overnight.


Day 3:  Garden Route – Titsikama National Park

Today after breakfast your, 4 days Garden Route tour adventure visit Natures Valley. The destination is Tsitsikamma nature reserve and Plettenberg bay.

Tsitsikamma is a khoi word meaning “place of abundant or sparkling water”. The region stretches from the Bloukrans River in the west to Eerste Rivier in the east. It is bordered on the north by the imposing Tsitsikamma Mountains and in the south by the Indian Ocean.

Arguably it is the most beautiful part of the Garden Route in South Africa. Nature’s Valley is unique. It lies nestled in the Tsitsikamma National Park coastal forest. This is the only residential area within a South African National Park.

Southern Cape Bushbuck, Bushpigs, and wild birds can frequently be seen. This is in the gardens of Nature’s Valley village. The area is covered in large tracts of indigenous forest, commercial plantation and Fynbos. Deep river gorges cleft the plateau as they make their way down to the sea. This creates spectacular waterfalls and deep kloofs.

Late afternoon your 4 Day Garden Route tour adventure returns to Knysna Quays Hotel. It is here where we will overnight.


About Titsikama National Park

The Tsitsikamma National Park forms a section of the Garden Route National Park. It is at the heart of the picturesque tourist region known as the Garden Route. This is found in the Southern Cape of South Africa.

Tsitsikamma is a Khoisan word. They were the original inhabitants of the area. This word means a place of much water.

Approximately 30% of the park is covered in fynbos (Cape Floral Kingdom). They are scattered amongst the forest vegetation. It boasts a wide variety of beautiful flowers, including proteas and heath.

Cormorants, Kelp Gulls and African Black Oystercatchers are prominent along the coastline. Pied and Giant Kingfishers can both be seen hunting fish at tidal pools. They may also be seen in the rivers that drain into the Indian Ocean.

More inconspicuous, but also inhabiting these rivers are Half-collared Kingfisher and African Finfoot. The Tsitsikamma Forest is the haunt of the Knysna Loerie. 

Other forest species to watch or listen for include Emerald Cuckoo and Narina Trogon. We also have Knysna and Olive Woodpecker, Chorister Robin and Grey Cuckooshrike.


Day 4:  Garden Route to Cape Town

After a breakfast your 4 Day Garden Route tour adventure makes a detour of Knysna heads. You will spend some free time at the Knysna waterfront.

Later you will make your way to Mossel Bay where we visit the Post Office Tree. There is also the Diaz museum where early pioneers left mail for the homebound ships to Europe.
