NATURE'S
VALLEY - TSITSIKAMMA FOREST NATIONAL PARK, GARDEN ROUTE, WESTERN CAPE
|
|
| Nature's Valley is
a holiday resort and retirement village on the Garden Route along the southern
Cape coast of South Africa, tucked between the Soutrivier, the foothills
of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, the Indian Ocean and the Grootrivier lagoon.
It has a balmy climate and the unusual status of being surrounded by the
Tsitsikamma National Park. A network of trails covers the surrounding
hills and beaches. The lagoon offers sheltered water for sailing and canoeing,
without powerboating and beach buggies. A walk along beaches and a rocky
path leads to the Salt River Mouth after crossing Pebble Beach, a large
area completely covered in sea-smoothed cobbles. |

| East of Nature's
Valley is the Grootrivier Lagoon, which marks the end of the Otter Trail,
starting at Storms River Mouth, 60km further east. This 5-day trail is
considered by many hikers to be the finest in South Africa, being strenuous,
scenic and extremely varied. The route meanders along the coast through
evergreen forest, past boulder-strewn beaches and frequently crossing tannin-stained
streams. Huts are available for the hiker at the end of each day, but bookings
have to be made well in advance. |
