We spent 9 days along the coast from Cape Town to Tsitsikamma. And this was our last place of overnight stay. The park is very nice was spectacular sea views. To go to the suspension bridge is a nice walk around. The small stretches of sand beach at the lookout was enough to entertain my 4 year old. It was... More

We drove from Cape Town to Addo and were not that impressed with the Garden Route in general. We spent time in Knysna and Plett (eat at The Lookout!), and we thought it was just ok and were glad that we didn't stay any longer. Plett has some great beaches though and Knysna has good views. The best part, I... More

Towering indigenous forests, breathtaking walks, pristine beaches, crashing waves, dark rivers... This is nature at her best. Take a drive to Nature's Valley and walk along miles of sandy beach - if you're lucky you may see an otter fishing for its supper. Nature's Valley is a small resort in the park where strict building guidelines have been adhered to... More

LYN HALLER, Owner took her assistant Thuli with us on this personalized tour out of Port Elizabeth, South Africa. They became real friends! Lynn went overboard to accommodate us during the limited time of our visit. Book with Umzansti.co.za - you'll be satisfied. From Claude and Cynthia Ashby, Lawrenceville, Georgia, USA. More

The scenery and setting are well worth the visit as you get both ocean, river and forest scenery all in a small area. Hike over to the 3 suspension bridges that cross the river and take a 50 minute round trip to the view point - all the way to the top and the viewing platform. You can also take... More

We walked the Jubilee Creek trail at Goudveld which took us through the forest alongside streams, up to the waterfall. We were the only people there and swam in the pool which was VERY cold. We had little fish nibbling us in the water, which was a very interesting experience. Only when we left did some other people turn up.... More

Once inside you can park and walk in many different dirrections, you are supplied with a map for you to make a choice. Storms river bridge is worth while you may even see Whales or... More
