Gansbaai
White Shark Capital of the World Gansbaai still Retains its Cape Fishing Village Charm
From the adrenaline rush of shark diving to long soulful beach walks, South Africa’s Gansbaai caters for a diversity in nature.

Take a scenic drive from Cape Town along the stunning R44 coastal road, past Gordon’s Bay to Kleinmond; say a quick hello to Whale Watching capital Hermanus and slide past Stanford and after a three hour drive you will arrive at Gansbaai, still one of the unspoiled gems in the Western Cape’s Overberg.

Gansbaai is seen as the great white shark capital of the world – but Gansbaai still retains its fishing village charm and small town friendliness.

Knysna
Knysna is situated along the famous Garden Route, and is amongst both South Africans and foreign tourists one of the most popular holiday towns in South Africa.
And that isn't too strange, as the location and surroundings are in one word stunning. Knysna for instance is surrounded by the Outeniqua Mountains, seemed off by indigenous forests and is boasts a beautiful Lagoon.

The Knysna Lagoon is best known for its oyster farming, and it provides a safe haven for the endangered Seahorse and the rare Pansy Shell. The Knysna Lagoon is therefore a nature reserve, activities as fishing, boating, bait-collecting and other water sports are regulated by the Parks Board.

One of the activities not to be missed is a ferry cruise to Featherbed Nature Reserve. Apart from that, Knysna also boasts many scuba diving and snorkeling spots, as for instance the wrecks.
