TRAVEL NEWS - When looking for an adventure holiday destination that is within easy reach, one should look no further than the Tsitsikamma National Park, which is part of the famous Garden Route National Park and stretches from the Bloukrans River in the west to Eerste Rivier in the east.
This coastal park offers the most magnificent scenery with indigenous forest, fynbos, deep rivers, and gorges with spectacular waterfalls.
Storms River Mouth Rest Camp nestles at the heart of the Tsitsikamma, offering exclusive access to all that the park has to offer.
Storms River Mouth Rest Camp boasts a range of accommodation options that are well-equipped with an ensuite bathroom and kitchen, or offer the use of communal kitchens and ablutions. Each unit offers a different style and view within the park - forest huts, forest cabins, chalets, oceanettes, and various cottages. The camp offers convenient access to a grocery and curio shop, a la carte restaurant, laundromat and ironing room, and an information desk.
Guests at Storms River Mouth Rest Camp have access to a number of activities, including various hiking trails, boat cruises, nature trails, marine and river activities, kayaking, ziplining, snorkelling and scuba diving in Storms River Mouth, black water tubing, bungee jumping at its highest in the world (216 metres), and swimming at a small beach. When heading to the beach, a highlight is walking along the 77 meter long suspension bridge that crosses the Storms River Mouth.
Some of the trees in the Tsitsikamma are over 800 years old and the bird watching is spectacular, with sightings of the narina trogon and Knysna turaco.
The Tsitsikamma National Park is also home to the rare blue duiker, Cape otter, bushbuck, vervet monkey's, bushpig, porcupine's, caracals and leopards.
A great place to visit is the Tsitsikamma Wolf Sanctuary which is the only registered, non-profit centre in South Africa, housing eighty gorgeous wolves who have no experience of living in the wild.
For travellers looking to extend their trip, Storms River Mouth Rest Camp is best combined with a tour along the Garden Route, visiting attractions such as the Robberg Nature Reserve, Birds of Eden, and the elephant sanctuary in Plettenberg Bay. It is also a great idea to explore the other regions of the Garden Route National Park, expanding on your nature experience.
