Nestling on the banks of a turquoise
blue lagoon in the heart of the
Garden Route, is the picturesque
town of Knysna. |
|
Pristine
beaches, lakes, mountains, forests,
and rivers provide endless opportunity
for leisure and outdoor activities.
|
|
Within the
town, craft shops and cafes
beckon with small-town charm
and hospitality.
|
|
The area
is a veritable garden of Eden:
home to the only forest elephant
in South Africa, the unique
Knysna seahorse, the Brenton-blue
butterfly, the Pansy shell,
Knysna Turaco and a variety
of water fowl, forest birds,
dolphins, visiting whales and
a fine team of associated Knysna
jewellers.
|
| A temperate
climate and a fine selection of
restaurants, golf estates, health
spas, boat cruises, nature reserves,
and outdoor activities make Knysna
the perfect holiday destination. |
|
Even in winter
the warm Indian Ocean attracts
many a swimmer.
|
| The indigenous
forests are dotted with well marked
walks and cycling/horse riding
paths, whilst the 8000 plant species
of the Cape fynbos attract many
birds (some endemic to the area). |
