The forest and the gorge.
Tsitsikamma is the stretch of indigenous forest and gorge between Plettenberg Bay and the Eastern Cape border – the part of the Garden Route that is trees rather than beach. Storms River Mouth, where the river meets the sea between cliffs, is the centre of it.
Where to stay in Tsitsikamma
Forest cabins, guest farms and a handful of places at Storms River village. It is a staying-put kind of place, not a passing-through one.
Where to eat and drink
A short list and mostly in the village – which is why self-catering does well here.
What to do
The suspension bridges at Storms River Mouth, the start of the Otter Trail, the forest walks, and the Bloukrans bridge bungee – the highest commercial bridge jump in the world, at 216 metres.
