Wilderness is situated about fifty kilometers from Knysna, about forty minutes pleasant drive through the what is often referred to as the Garden Route "lake district". Golden stretches of beach are washed by the rolling waves of the Indian Ocean.

Inland only a few kilometers from the sea, the Outeniqua Mountains form an impressive backdrop. Walks along the beach with swimming in the warmer months are a must for the day tripper. In the afternoon take a quiet stroll along the boardwalk which meanders through the reeds of the Wilderness Lagoon. Two spectacular view sites are; Map of Africa situated above Wilderness and Dolphins Point above the mouth of the Kaaimans river.

Originally christened "Bahia Formosa" (beautiful bay) by early Portuguese explorers.

Plattenberg Bay`s sweeping, unspoilt golden beaches, a dramatic rocky peninsula, intriguing lagoons and estuaries, towering indigenous forests and unpolluted rivers and sea.

Plattenberg Bay`s Mediterranean Maritime climate, with moderately hot summers, and mild to chilly winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian ocean. Any time of the year is good for visiting the area, depending if you enjoy a peaceful retreat during the winter months or a bustling holiday destination during the summer.

In my books its a must see for everybody.

Tsitsikamma, bordering on the Garden Route of the Western Cape Province, is an area of splendid natural forests. Its name is derived from the Kho-Khoi expression for 'a place of abundant water', and no name could be more apt for this area.

The word effortlessly evokes meaning and beauty, entirely appropriate to this large area of rocky shores, ravines, sheer cliffs, ancient trees, dense undergrowth, a richness of verdant plant life, the din of insect life and the distant sounds of water falling in almost imperceptible screams over craggy edges, gurgling, flowing into and out itself, to the Indian Ocean below and beyond.
