Wilderness - Garden Route South Africa

The exceptionally pretty area of Wilderness on the Garden Route in South Africa offers a unique system of lakes, rivers and wetlands with much alpine style accommodation on heavily wooded hillsides with the sea beyond. The Wilderness coastal road runs along a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the chain of lakes, one of which reputedly contains a mermaid.

Wilderness - Garden route South Africa This is no new legend as ancient Bushman paintings in the mountains depict a woman with a fish tail. She does not seem to interfere with the present day pleasures of boating, yachting, swimming, fishing and canoeing, which is a delightful way to explore the tranquility of the national park area and its abundant bird life.
