The Garden Route is one of South Africa's premier tourist playgrounds, lavishly endowed with lakes, lagoons and estuaries, not to mention a wide variety of animal and bird life. Full-colour photographs illustrate this beautiful region. They portray the stunning beaches at Plettenberg Bay, Wilderness, Knysna and all along the coastline; the lushly vegetated indigenous forests between the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma mountains and the sea; and, further inland, Oudtshoorn with its Cango Caves and ostrich farms in the arid Little Karoo.
