Stormsriver / Tsitsikamma Information |
|
|
 Popular
with tourists and hikers alike, the Storms River/Tsitsikamma area
is situated in the heart of the Garden Route and lies between the
Tsitsikamma Mountains and the sea. Often described as a
wonderland because of its beauty, visitors are spellbound by rolling
seas, sheer cliffs and forest and fynbos vegetation.
Designed by Italian Ricardo Morandi, the Paul Sauer suspension bridge
spans the impressive gorge of the Storms River, along which you
can white river raft. The name Tsitsikamma comes from a
Khoisan word meaning ‘clear or sparkling water’. |
 The
famous indigenous forests of Tsitsikamma are home to the giant
Outeniqua Yellowwood trees – some older than 1,000 years. A
photographer’s paradise, most of this rich forest wonderland is part of
two national parks – the Tsitsikamma Coastal National park and the
Tsitsikamma Forest National Park. The coastal park stretches across
some 75km of coast line from Nature’s Valley and visitors from
all over the world come to the region known for its rugged coastline
hikes, including the Otter Trail. |
