The oldest marine reserve in South Africa — offering adventure galore in indigenous forests and a beach-strewn coastline
Settled along the picturesque Garden Route, Tsitsikamma National Park boasts 80km of rugged coastline, indigenous forests, and lush mountains. The park is characterised by isolated mountains covered in thick forest that support year-round greenery, with valleys of endemic fynbos below. These forests are also home to the slow-growing Oteniqua yellow-wood tree, with Tsitsikamma home to one of the oldest of these giants – a tree which has stood for about 800 years. The area also boasts an incredible variety of bird species, including the Knysna Turaco, while the magnificent coastline supports a rich variety of marine animals along its breathtaking beaches.
