| The picturesque town of Knysna nestles
on the shores of the Knysna Lagoon. The lagoon (its really an estuary)
is a favourite for fishermen and water sport enthusiasts, with boating,
sailing, water skiing and scuba diving near the Heads, the majestic sentinels
that guard the entrance to the lagoon. The town of Knysna is well known
for the variety of eating establishments and shops specializing in wooden
furniture and ornaments made from the indigenous timbers found in the forests
nearby. Knysna is only five hours drive from Cape Town and two and a half
hours from Port Elizabeth. It is ideally situated to enable visitors to
explore the other wonders of the Garden Route. |
