Our Knysna
guest house is about an hour's drive from the Tsitsikamma forest, making

around giant Outeniqua Yellowwoods up to 700 years old.
Standing
within the crown of these giants and looking down at the lush forest floor
thirty metres below is an unforgettable experience. Hold your breath as
you slide from tree to tree through the forest, stopping at each new platform
while your guides tell you a little more about the surrounding ecology.
If you are fortunate you will spot a pair of Knysna Loeries or the brilliant
red plumage of the elusive Narina Trogon. Whatever happens, we're quite
sure you'll want to do it all over again!
