Knysna South Africa - The Heart of the Garden Route | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids
Located on South Africa’s famous Garden Route, Knysna (pronounced as ‘ny-zah’), is one of the country’s most famous locations. It is a natural paradise of lush, indigenous forests, tranquil lakes, wildlife and golden beaches. The breathtakingly pretty lagoon is now a protected marine reserve that is home to the extraordinary sea horse and over 200 species of fish.
The endangered Knysna seahorse is named after the town and can be spotted during a good snorkeling session in the estuary.
We really enjoyed the view from the heads - a striking geological spot made up of a pair of huge, brightly coloured cliffs lying at the mouth of the lagoon, flanking a channel of potentially treacherous water that flows into Knysna lagoon. We were told that from the banks of the rocks we could see whales because Knysna is on the migratory route of the Southern Right and other species but unfortunately we weren't able to see one these marine mammals.
Enjoy the video and let us know where you’re watching from!

Featherbed tour Knysna South Africa

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.

We then had a good walk back down stopping at several viewing points along the way. The sea caves and views across the lagoon back to knysna among them.
We then made our way to the restaurant where a lovely buffet lunch was waiting.

Imprisoned. Our holidays feature a hand-picked collection of Scenic special stays, which are outstanding hotels and lodges and at each one a very special experience awaits.

Look I just had to show you this because if I hadn't seen it I wouldn't have believed it. I’ve gone for a wander through the hotel grounds and look who's joined us, I don't know the behaviour of these animals outside of a zoo but they sure are pretty.
Now before you actually see the falls, you hear them, you feel them, this rumbling, churning water, the largest falling curtain of water in the world twice the size of Niagara.
For the ultimate luxury safari experience, take to the skies without ten-day East Africa by air experience where you will fly between luxury tented camps and safari lodges in East Africa.
In Botswana you can visit the water Wonderland of the Okavango Delta, staying in some of the most spectacular and secluded tented camps in all of Africa.
In Namibia you discover the red sand dunes of Sossusvlei, the beautiful and remote coastline of Swakopmund as well as the Magnificent Etosh National Park.
When most of us talk about journey's a lifetime an African safari is right up there.
I hope you’re ready to roar.

Knysna Vacation Travel Video Guide
Travel video about nature park Knysna in South-Africa.
Five hundred kilometres from Cape Town the surroundings of Knysna have for many years been the main tourist centre of this unique region, a breathtaking coastline, picturesque rivers and untouched forests which have given this magnificent area a unique and unforgettable charm.The Wilderness National Park begins just outside the village of Wilderness, west of Knysna. Because of its two thousand six hundred hectares the park has become an important refuge for many varieties of bird that are threatened by extinction. Located between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua Mountains it is an ideal refuge for two hundred and fifty different kinds of birds and small animals. The extraordinary beauty of Knysna Bay has many vantage points. Its eighteen square kilometre lagoon looks like a fantastic lake and the bay’s most striking landmark is two mountains that rise up from the sea, the Heads Of Knysna which look like two gigantic stone heads and are the gateway into the lagoon. The Heads Of Knysna are responsible for the fact that over millions of years a biotope was gradually created here that is unique throughout South Africa. In this coastal area there is much vegetation and sclerophyllous plants and these rich natural treasures would alone be good enough reason to visit the Knysna region. The landscape on the section between George and Knysna is one of the finest in South Africa. The long railway bridge that spans the lagoon is a famous architectural landmark of this region and after two and a half hours the trains of the Outeniqua Choo Tjoe arrive at Knysna Station. In Knysna it is possible to continue the journey by way of the many excursion boats and ferries that, when the weather is good, travel to the Heads and various islands. After having experienced the many wonderful natural sights of this magnificent region it is easy to understand why so many refer to it as, The Garden Of Eden, because, like paradise, there is no finer ‘garden’ than that of South Africa’s Knysna!
