Things To Do: Tsitsikamma Park: a suspension bridge and the walk

  • We visited Tsitsikamma Park when we did the garden route from Plettenberg Bay to Port Elizabeth. We were lucky that we could do the walk between the rain showers.

    When you only have a few hours or less time do the walk towards the suspension bridge over the Storm River. It's a good chance to stretch your legs and the landscapes are good.

    The trail starts just behind the restaurant and the first thing you see is a small waterfall coming down from the rocks. And from there on the track starts. Most of it is on a wooden log floor.

    During the trail you get some glimpse of the suspension bridge and when you arrive at this bridge, you probably can see why they call this the Storm River.

    When you want to know more, see my Tsitsikamma Nasionale Park travelogue: A short walk towards the suspension bridge

    But there is also the option to book accommodation or go on a 5 day hike, for more details for these and other activities check their website.

  • It seems that you can have incredible views when you drive the garden route. But what we saw was mist and the Storm River and some rocks on the road.

    Do I have to say that's was raining.

    But when the weather is nice, the scenery has to be beautiful.

     It looks like an amazing place to see, even with the rain!

     Even with all this rain and such Tsitsikamma looks impressive... when we were there, the waterfall was dripping in a small pool (see our Tstitsikamma pages)
