KNYSNA

Knysna was once the home of whalers and woodcutters,situated on the banks of an enormous estuary and flanked by indigenous forests, it is now a spectacular South African holiday destination for those who want to kick back and relax on the beaches or play some of the best golf in South Africa.

Knysna is named after the river which comes down from the mountains and then opens into the Knysna tidal estuary before exchanging its waters with the Indian Ocean through the narrow gap between two huge rocky sandstone bluffs known as the “Knysna Heads”. The western head being a nature reserve (Featherbed), one of the more popular tourist attractions and accessible by ferry. George Rex the founder of Knysna, surely represents the biggest mystery of the knysna was once the home of whalers and woodcutters,situated on the banks of an enormous estuary and flanked by indigenous forests, it is now a spectacular South African holiday destination for those who want to kick back and relax on the beaches or play some of the best golf in South Africa.

George Rex the founder of Knysna, surely represents the biggest mystery of the region.

Many claim that he was the first illegitimate son of King George III of England. The fact is that he was responsible for opening up Knysna to the rest of the world by developing the port and harbor through the Knysna Heads. The estuary is a biologically rich and fascinating body of water, with salt marches and deep water channels that are home to the famous Knysna Sea Horse, the Pansy Shell and over 200 species of fish. Hikers and mountain bikers have long acknowledged that Knysna offers some of the very best tracks in South Africa, which vary from light and easy to strenuous and technically demanding. Knysna has awesome beaches at Brenton, Buffalo Bay, Bollard Bay and Noetzie. The warm Indian Ocean currents make for pleasant sea temperatures for two thirds of the year. Between Brenton and Buffalo Bay beaches lie three kilometers of uninterrupted white sand in a crecent shape, which offers safe bathing with life guards.

PLETTENBERG BAY

You will certainly never forget your first site of this incredibly beautiful bay.The backdrop of Plettenberg bay is a series of majestic mountains that stretch from north to south with the town situated amongst a canopy of green forests and fynbos, that is separated from the Indian Ocean by endless white sandy beaches.The bay itself has an unusual mix of marine life as this is where both the warm and the cold waters of the Indian Ocean currents meet and blend,resulting in an area unparalleled for its biodiversity.There are many elevated view points that offer excellent land based whale watching,while regular boat based whale tours and marine safaris provide great opportunity to experience these mammals at close hand.Plettenberg bay is dominated by a large peninsula called Robberg (seal mountain).The Robberg marine and nature reserve, offers sweeping views of the entire bay,excellent bird watching and a archaeological site (NelsonBay cave) with stone age tools and artifacts stretching back 120 thousand years.The greater Plettenberg bay area offers vast expanses of unspoiled indigenous forests, lagoons, pristine sand dunes and delicate wetland reserves- most of which are easily accessible by foot, on horseback or by bicycle..
