Wilderness, in the
heart of the Garden Route, is a lovely little town in the most fabulous
setting. With forested hills at its back, the town jigsaws itself around
a number of pretty wetlands and flows over the high coastal dunes to overlook
a magnificent, long, snow white beach where dolphins and whales come to
play. Just to the west of the town, the pitch-black, mysterious, forest-clad
Kaaimans River wends its way to the sea flowing under a series of bridges
that support the N2 and a narrow gauge railway line that carries the historical
Outeniqua
Choo-Tjoe steam train that runs between George
and Knysna. |
  Although
there are lots of lovely places where you can just kick back, have a drink
or a meal gazing at a fabulous view, or just read a book under a tree,
Wilderness is primarily an active destination. With some fabulous paragliding
launch sites, it’s a great place to learn to fly or just to do a tandem
flight.
The Wilderness National
Park conserves an extensive wetland that winds between lovely flood-plains
and indigenous forest. You can rent canoes to explore the meandering waterways
or just go for a lovely walk.
Keen birders will appreciate
the laid out day trails to and between some very well placed bird hides.
You could abseil down a waterfall, do a scenic kloofing (canyoning) trip
or join a mountain biking expedition, and the surfing is great.
On Saturday mornings, the
nearby Wild Oats Farmers Market is a feast of fabulous food and other delights.
Wilderness is on the N2 and close to the airport at George.
