Knysna is a town in the heart of South Africa's beautiful Garden Route. Knysna lies nestled in between the Outeniqua Mountains and the Indian Ocean. Knysna has twice been voted South Africa's favorite town, and with good reason; it's a friendly and welcoming with lots of attractions and activities. There's a large lagoon that's perfect for water sports and surrounding forests that are great for walking.

Because Knysna is such a popular destination for South Africans, avoid it during the summer school holidays in mid-December to early January when it gets very crowded and prices double.
