Garden Route and the mecca of golf in the southern Cape, as it is home to the renowned
Fancourt Country Club and Golf Estate and various other acclaimed golf courses. Board the

The harbour at Mossel Bay is one of the most modern commercial and recreational harbours on the southern Cape coastline. The Information Canter at
PetroSA (formerly Mossgas) informs visitors about the project and the production of synthetic fuels from Mossel Bay's offshore gas fields. Other attractions include the
Attequas Kloof Pass, Anglo-Boer/South African War blockhouses and the Bartholomew Dias complex.

Knysna has officially become South Africa's favourite destination. What makes it unique is the fact that the town nestles on the banks of an
estuary, guarded by The Heads (two huge sandstone cliffs) surrounded by indigenous forests, tranquil lakes and
golden beaches.

Plettenberg Bay is adventure country, offering boat-based whale watching, black water tubing, hiking, and forest and cycling trails. Look-Out Beach is one of the
Blue Flag beaches in South Africa.

The Tsitsikamma National Park offers many scenic walks and trails, including the world-famous
Otter Hiking Trail. It also boasts the only underwater trail in Africa. The Park is South Africa's first proclaimed marine reserve.

General Safety Tips
|
1. If you're on a guided tour, your chances of encountering problems are minimal - tour operators make it their business to know the areas they travel to so you are never at any undue risk.
2. If you're traveling alone, keep up-to-date with local news so you know about potential "hot spots". http://www.africanews.org/ carries top stories from most of Africa's local newspapers, and is updated daily.
3. Get a local perspective - ask someone where you're staying to give you a run-down on any unsafe areas, and codes of dress and behavior.
4. As with anywhere in the world, when you're in a city err on the side of caution. Don't openly carry valuables. If you must carry your passport and money, keep them in a buttoned-down pocket or well-concealed on your person.
5. Driving in Africa can often be a pretty adventurous undertaking. In many countries, and particularly in rural areas, roads are often poorly maintained and it's not unusual to come across large domestic animals such as sheep and cattle. The best advice: stay alert, use your seatbelts and avoid traveling at night.
6. Avoid deserted areas, particularly at night. If you're in a car, try and park in well-lit populated areas; always keep it locked - even when you're in it; and don't leave valuables where they can be seen.
7. If you're thinking of hitchhiking, you'll need to understand the high risks involved. It is often exciting, always potentially dangerous - particularly in around urban centers or after dark - and isn't advised if safety is a priority.
8. The best advice for security when you travel: simply stay aware of what's going on around you. If you do this, you have a good chance of enjoying a problem-free holiday.
