- Tsitsikamma National Park
Tsitsikamma National Park
Tsitsikamma is the word of the indigenous Khoi-San people
meaning 'place of many waters', which accurately describes the
naturally beautiful thin 50-mile (80km) stretch of coastline that
makes up the Tsitsikamma National Park, Africa's oldest and largest
marine reserve. The park boasts many attractions, including a giant
Outeniqua yellowwood tree that is hundreds of years old. The region
is criss-crossed by hiking trails, including the world-renowned
Otter Trail, starting at Storm's River and running along 25 miles
(41km) of spectacular coastline to Nature's Valley. A number of
private operators, notably Storms River Adventures, offer numerous
adventure activities in the area such as black-water rafting and
abseiling, mountain bike tours and fishing trips. A particularly
exciting diversion is to undertake a 'canopy tour' of the forest,
gliding across the treetops on steel cables strung between
platforms.

the larger hotels. ATMs are widely available (there is a daily

but commission is charged, otherwise all commercial banks will
exchange them.
