The Garden Route is renowned for its unique fynbos biome, characterized by a rich variety of shrubs, wildflowers, and low vegetation. It’s an incredible treat to witness wild animals move through the vibrant fynbos. The region features scenic mountain ranges, such as the Outeniqua Mountains, providing dramatic backdrops to the safari experience. The Garden Route receives annual rainfall between 600-1,200 mm, with peaks in late winter and spring. This consistent moisture supports the lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems found in the region. Types of animals you can expect to encounter are zebra, wildebeest, antelope, hippos, giraffe, elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino and many other smaller mammals like meerkats, serval and jackal.
