Miles to walk


Wilderness beach must be one of the longest stretches of unspoilt beach along the Garden Route. One can walk forever.
In fact one could walk to Sedgefield, and what is really great, is that one is often completely alone in this nature paradise, just the ocean the sand, some sea gulls and Oyster Catchers and the endless blue sky.

Sound like fun?

See you in Wilderness sometime.

6km inland and in the hills


Just 5 minutes drive behind Wilderness and up the Serpentine Pass lies a wonderful surprise of rural scenery complete with indigenous forested wilderness corridors and mountain backdrops.

This a always a worthwhile drive especially at the end of the day when the lighting changes and the colours mellow.
This particular shot is taken in Hoekwil an agricultural village. In the background are the Outeniqua Mountains.
If you translate this word from the original Khoisan language, it means..."land of milk and honey".

This road automatically winds its way to the old George-Knysna rd, which lies parallel to the N2.
So there are some wonderful circular driving routes.
