Mossel Bay is the gateway to the entire Garden Route. The Garden Route is a corner of Africa that is so astonishingly beautiful that it has been called “A Taste of Eden”. It is a mosaic of silent, mysterious forests, sweeping lakes and wetlands, empty, unspoiled beaches and narrow, winding passes that lie between Gouritsmond in the West and Storms River in the East.
