Knysna
Introduction of South Africa's most favourite town of the Y2K.
A natural paradise of lush indigenous forest, tranquil lakes and golden beaches adorns South Africa's unspoiled southern coast.  Nestling on the banks of a shimmering lagoon in the heart of this “Garden Route” is the picturesque town of Knysna.

Knysna is famous for its spectacular environment and natural beauty, which promise hours of fun for the outdoor enthusiast and adventurer.  Beaches, rivers, lakes and lagoons provide ample opportunity for water sports including canoeing, diving and fishing, while mountains and forest beckon bikers, riders and cyclists.  A range of Eco-adventure companies offer safe, guide activities.  Within the town, craft shops, flea markets and cosy café's beckon with small-town charm and hospitality.

Knysna is synonymous with fine timbers and famed for the craftsmanship of its furniture and timber products.

The area is a veritable Garden of Eden; home to the brilliantly coloured Knysna Loerie, a plethora of waterfowl and forest birds, dolphins and visiting whales.

The indigenous forest constitute the largest complex of closed-canopy forest in southern Africa, whilst the remarkable richness of the Fynbos vegetation contributes over 8000 plant species to the Cape floral kingdom.

Knysna is a holiday paradise, with special attractions, good food, outdoor activities and shopping opportunities to please every temperament.  The Heads offer panoramic views of the town and lagoon from various view sites and the famous Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe steam train always delights visitors and train lovers on its daily journeys through lyrically beautiful countryside.  Enjoy Knysna’s famous oysters at one of many rustic taverns, along with our own locally brewed Mitchell's draught beer.

A temperate climate and a fine selection of accommodation, restaurants and enjoyable activities make Knysna the perfect holiday destination.
