The Garden Route of South Africa is just as gorgeous as it sounds - starting in the colorful town of Cape Town, it winds itself up the coast and ends at private safari lodges in the Eastern Cape. Here are 15 photos to inspire your own visit along South Africa’s Garden Route.
Mussel farming accounts for approximately 50% of South Africa’s aquaculture production, so it’s not surprising that mussels are a staple of most restaurants, especially along the coast. Around Hermanus, multitudes of black mussels can be found along the rocks that line the beaches. Staying at the Birkenhead House offers you an opportunity to sustainably pick some mussels during your holiday!
