Knysna (South-Africa) Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about destination Knysna in South-Africa.
Two impressive sandstone cliffs known as The Heads flank the magnificent lagoon of Knysna on the South African coast close to the Indian Ocean. The Knysna Lagoon is not only popular with tourists as the combination of both salt and freshwater from the Outeniqua Mountains also attracts many endangered species of fish. The lagoon is home to the rare Knysna Seahorse that is otherwise known as the Hipocampus Capensis. Moving inland from the estuary and the two Heads the water becomes increasingly calm. Indeed it is difficult to believe that only a few kilometres away lies one of the most treacherous and feared coastlines in the world. But beyond the lagoon's rocks and boulders all is peaceful and idyllic, a place where ornithologists can observe a large variety of birdlife. Due to its magnificent location close to forests, mountains and ocean in addition to its increasing number of leisure facilities, Knysna is one of South Africa's most popular Garden Route destinations.

The most beautiful walk in the world - Knysna Featherbed Eco Experience
The Featherbed Company’s newly relaunched Eco Experience combines a boat cruise, scenic truck ride, two kilometre hike and lunch. The hike, down the side of the mountain and along the coast at the foot of the Knysna heads must be the most Instagramable walk in the world. The stairs, bridges, tunnels and caves are absolutely spectacular, we loved the boat cruise and lunch was sublime. All in all a fantastic experience - not to be missed!

Featherbed tour Knysna South Africa
Featherbed natural reserve is a beautiful mix of the coast, mountains, lake and wild life near the town of Knysna.
A nice place to visit.
You have to excuse me if the video is a bit shaky sometimes.
This is because of the wind, bumpy road or vehicle and the more you zoom in the more sensitive it is.
Knysna Travel Guide - Unique South African Experience
Knysna Travel Guide - Unique South African Experience
Knysna, pearl of the scenic Garden Route, is situated between George and Plettenberg Bay. Perennially green thanks to a Mediterranean Maritime climate with rain falling throughout the year, Knysna is mantled by indigenous forests extending into the Tsitsikamma National Park area.
Nestled between the impressive Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian ocean, the culinary capital of oysters and other delectable seafood is a compulsory stopover on every travelers’ itinerary. At the heart of Knysna is a lagoon protected from the sea by the monolithic sandstone Heads – best explored on board a catamaran or from along hiking paths in the Featherbed Nature Reserve. A hotspot for art and craft, as well as adventure activities such as tree canopy gliding, kloofing and abseiling, Knysna offers something to everybody.
The peculiarity of the origin of the place-name Knysna is commonly explained with a light-hearted joke of two German tourists travelling to Knysna, and upon reaching the lookout point on the eastern Knysna Head, the one says to the other: 'Nice, na?'. On a more serious note, Knysna is believed to be derived from a Khoi word for place of wood, or fern leaves, but most probable straight down or hard to reach - referring to the steep Knysna Heads.
Walking around is the best option or rent a bicycle for longer distances. Except the minibuses there is no public transport so you have to take a taxi if you want. Traffic can become extremely busy during the tourist high season and long queues in and out of Knysna are common.
Many guesthouses, hotels and B&Bs compete for the visitor in off-season, but in high season prices rise and places fill early so book ahead. There are also several nice options out of town (like Brenton-on-Sea and Buffalo Bay) for those with their own transport.
The lagoon is about 18 sq. km and home to at least 200 species of fish is connected with the Indian Ocean through a turbulent channel between The Heads, two sandstone cliffs. Tour around on one of several boats or just take a coffee at the Heads. Take a boat across to the Featherbed Nature Reserve on the Heads (this is an organised tour because it's a private reserve, but it's a good way to spend some time on the lagoon than take a walk in the reserve).
The Knysna Forest is about 80.000 ha are now under conservation. The ‘King Edward VII’ tree (at Diepwalle forest station) is an estimated 600 years old, 39 m at height, and has a circumference of 6 m. The most famous animals are the Knysna elephants. Currently research, involving DNA testing of dung, is being done to see how many of them may still rumble in the jungle, please report any dung sightings! Remember to always take care. There are several hiking trails but you need a car to access the forest. Don't forget the conservation motto Take only photographs, leave only footprints!.
Pledge Nature Reserve offers 3.5 km of pathways through scrub forest and hillside fynbos with fine views over the lagoon and is just 500 meters of the town centre. A nice place for a walk in the afternoon.
Millwood Gold Fields site of one of the first gold rushes in South Africa, the Millwood Museum and Materoli Tea Room (be sure to try a piece of Jayne's World Famous Chocolate Cake) offers a unique and fascinating view of the greed, entrepreneurship, energy, and ultimate failure of the first gold discovered in South Africa during the late 1800's. Tours through the old gold diggings are available.

Discover Pretoria - The Garden City of South Africa | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
The administrative capital of South Africa, Pretoria, or the 'Jacaranda City' is best known for its annual display of purple flowers in October. Located in the northern part of Gauteng, Pretoria is the historic centre of government in the former ZAR. Pretoria is also known as Tshwane, named after the Tswana/Ndebele Chief Tshwane.
Whenever we travel, it's always about the people we meet and here, in Pretoria, it was just that. We connected with a homeschooling family and the kids had such a blast!
During our visit we stayed at the Ngata Lodge in the Dinokeng Game Reserve which is located inside the city limits.
We visited the city center where we learned about Paul Kruger also toured the original Johannesburg gold mines and world famous Sterkfontein Caves.

South Africa Adventure: The Garden Route - VLOG #61
// THE GARDEN ROUTE AT IT'S BEST: Spotting Elephants and Lions at Addo National Park, Watching whales, dolphins and seals at Plettenberg Bay, Hiking the Tsitsikamma waterfall trail and close up with Zebra's in De Hoop Nature Reserve - This really is the Garden Route at it's best!
A lifelong dream came true: We visited South Africa! We were there for 12 days and really made the most out of it!! This video is the second of the three South Africa VLOGs that I made and is all about our Day 5-8 of our South African Adventure!
DAY 5: We left Stellenbosch in the morning and drove a very scenic route towards De Hoop Nature Reserve. We spotted zebra's, baboons and ostriches on the road before arriving to fantastic dunes with the best view over the Indian Ocean! We had to drive about 100km over unpaved road, but it was totally worth it! We then continued our way along the garden route towards Plettenberg Bay.
DAY 6: We woke up in Plettenberg Bay and did a 2 hour kayak trip! We were supposed to see some dolphins and seals, but weren't really around :( We therefore booked another adventure: A boat trip! We were very very lucky to find many dolphins and seals swimming and playing all around our boat and we even spotted a Bryde Whale even though it wasn't even whale season!! Pure HAPPINESS!
DAY 7: We drove from Plettenberg Bay to Tsitsikamma National Park. We hiked the mouth trail with suspension bridges over the stormsriver, followed by the 3 hour waterfall trail which was spectacular! We continued our trip to Port Elizabeth in the evening.
DAY 8: Got up early to drive to Addo Elephant National Park! An amazing one-day selfdrive safari, we spotted elephants, zebras, buffaloes and even a pack of lions!! Speechless and thankful for this experience, we finished our Gardenroute tour and are headed for the next destination: The Krugerpark!
Our South Africa adventure will continue in the Kruger National Park, but all of that you will see in the next VLOG!
Thank you for watching and I can't wait to show you part three of this awesome South African Adventure! Have you seen part one yet?
