Lush greenery, laid-back coastal towns, long beaches backed by mountain ranges, delicious seafood, breathtaking scenery... South Africa's Garden Route is all about living in the moment and letting go of the worries. Garden Route is a coastal stretch on the south coast of South Africa, including everything between Mossel Bay and Storms River. This is one of the most popular road-trip routes in the country for being relatively close to Cape Town and offering a great variety of activities. These activities can range from reading a book on a hammock by the beach to jumping off from the highest bungee jumping bridge in the world. The easiest way to visit the Garden Route is by self-driving from Cape Town in the west all the way to Port Elizabeth in the east. Here is an itinerary with 10 must-see places along the way.
