Tsitsikamma Forest

Nestled along the southern coast of South Africa, Tsitsikamma Forest is a haven for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Part of the Garden Route National Park, this lush, temperate rainforest is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, towering trees, and scenic walking trails. Its dense canopy provides shelter for a diverse array of wildlife, including the endangered Knysna elephants and various bird species.

The forest is a paradise for adventure seekers, offering a range of activities like hiking, birdwatching, and canoeing. The famous Otter Trail, a multi-day hike along the rugged coastline, begins here, providing an unforgettable way to experience the region’s beauty. Visitors can also explore the Storms River Mouth, where the river meets the sea, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and verdant vegetation. Tsitsikamma is a peaceful retreat where guests can unwind, immerse themselves in nature, and enjoy the tranquil rhythm of the forest.
