Area Info
Knysna nestles between the impressive Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean, with 80, 000 ha of world-renowned forests encircling it like a protective mantle. At the heart of Knysna is the 21 ha lagoon, protected from the sea by the monolithic sandstone "Heads", silent sentinels down the centuries of the rich history of this unique part of "paradise on earth". Indigenous forests, fynbos, lakes, rivers and mountains, combined with a moderate climate, make Knysna a natural Eden for flora and fauna lovers with an abundance of natural features in the area to be especially appreciated. Adding to the richness of this incredible region is the spectacular Fynbos vegetation, contributing 8000 plant species to the Cape floral kingdom. Knysna is the ideal Garden Route base, offering visitors an unforgettable stay, from the very adventurous ones, to those who prefer relaxing in the sun, strolling through the cool forests or taking scenic day drives.
