Running along one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline is the Garden Route, which includes charming small towns, mountains close to the shoreline, beaches and bays. The Tsitsikamma National Park is one of South Africa’s most protected areas, combining land and marine attractions. The Klein Karoo, with its soaring mountains and sheer gorges is one of the most interesting parts of South Africa. One of the most popular attractions is the Congo Caves, a series of caves and chambers naturally made out of limestone, located outside the city of Oudtshoorn.
