Synonymous with fine indigenous timbers and famed for the
craftsmanship of its furniture and timber products. The area is a
veritable Garden of Eden: home to the only forest elephant in South
Africa, the unique Knysna seahorse, the Pansy shell, the
brilliantly colored Knysna Loerie, a plethora of waterfowl and
forest birds, dolphins and visiting whales.
Knysna is natural paradise of lush indigenous forests, tranquil
lakes and golden beaches adorns South Africa's un-spoilt southern
coast. Nestling on the banks of a shimmering lagoon in the heart of
the Garden Route is the picturesque town of Knysna. Beaches, lakes,
mountains and rivers provide endless opportunity for leisure and
outdoor adventure. Within the town, craft shops, flea-markets and
cozy cafe's beckon with Knysna's small-town charm and hospitality.
The indigenous forests consist of the largest complex of
closed-canopy forest in Southern Africa, whilst the remarkably rich
Fynbos vegetation contributes to an awe inspiring 8000+ plant
species of the Cape floral kingdom.
Knysna enjoys a moderate climate all year round. Lowest rainfall
occurs during winter; the yearly average is 770 mm. The average
temperature in January is 26 degrees Celsius and during the winter months
(June-August) fall to about 18 degrees Celsius - still ideal conditions
for outdoors activities!
