Garden Route, Coastal road in Western Cape, South Africa

The Garden Route extends 300 kilometers along the South African coast between Mossel Bay and Storms River, featuring beaches, forests, and mountains.

Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Diaz first documented this coastal region in 1488, establishing European contact with the indigenous people of the area.

Local markets throughout the Garden Route showcase South African arts, traditional crafts, and regional wines produced in the surrounding valleys.

The N2 highway connects all major towns along the Garden Route, with George Airport offering direct flights from Cape Town and Johannesburg.

The route passes through the Cape Floral Region, containing 20 percent of Africa's plant species in just 0.5 percent of the continent's area.
