Destination Overview

Holidays to Knysna take you to a natural paradise of lush, indigenous forests, tranquil lakes and golden beaches. Nestled on the banks of a breathtaking lagoon and home to a protected marine reserve that features extraordinary sea horse and over 200 species of fish, Kynsa is probably the most famous town on the garden route.

With beaches, lakes, mountains and rivers, a wide range of activities and excellent places to stay, eat and drink, there are plenty of reasons to stop in Kynsa. Knysna is located in the middle of the Garden Route, approximately 500 km from Cape Town and 270 km from Port Elizabeth.

The indigenous forests in Knysna constitute the largest complex of closed-canopy forest in southern Africa and the remarkable richness of the Fynbos vegetation contributes over 8000 plant species to the Cape floral kingdom. Exploring the Knysna forests, along demarcated walks, with the occasional call of the Loerie provides an escape from reality for the body and soul.

The only forest elephant in South Africa

Within the town, craft shops, flea-markets and cosy cafés beckon with small-town charm and hospitality. The area around Knysna is a veritable Garden of Eden. This is home of the only forest elephant in South Africa, the rare Pansy Shell, the brilliantly coloured, and elusive, Knysna Loerie, a plethora of waterfowl and forest birds, dolphins and visiting whales.
