Activities
Knysna is a town in the heart of South Africa's beautiful Garden Route just East of Cape Town. Knysna lies nestled in between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean. Knysna has twice been voted South Africas favorite town, and with good reason. Its a friendly, welcoming town with lots of attractions and activities.
1. Enjoy the Beach If the tide is in, theres very safe swimming at Bollard Beach towards the top end of Leisure Island. Its also got a sandy beach ideal for sand castles. At the bottom end of the island, theres a grassy, shady picnic site with BBQ facilities and toilets. If you want a very long romantic walk along the beach, you can walk all the way from Brenton-on-Sea to Buffalo Bay (about five miles). Dont ignore any warning signs on the beaches as very strong currents do occur.
2. Seek Solace in a Forest Knysna is surrounded by patches of state forest in which there are paths of varying lengths. Pick up a map at Knysna Tourism (phone 044-382-5510) and a permit at the forest entrance. If youre a mountain-biker, there are various routes to explore in the state forests. At Millwood, theres the 19km Homtini Cycle Route which starts at the Krisjan-se-nek picnic site. In Diepwalle, there's the 24km Petrus-se-brand Cycle Route which ends at the Garden-of-Eden.
