Geography: The untouched landscape of the Tsitsikamma National Park can be found in the heart of the Garden Route, roughly midway between Port Elizabeth and Plettenberg Bay. The Park is an 80km long coastal strip between Nature's Valley and the mouth of the Storms River.

History: The Tsitsikamma National Park was proclaimed in 1964, and consists of an indigenous rain forest and a coastal section. The coastal section was the first marine reserve proclaimed in Africa, and was done so in response to an appeal by the first world conference on national parks held in Seattle in 1962.

Arts and Culture: Tsitsikamma, most appropriately, is the Khoe word for "place of many waters". The area incorporates various places of cultural interest ranging from Khoe cultural heritage sites such as caves, shell middens and rock art as well as recent cultural historic sites like ruins of small fisher settlements, the legacy of the past forestry industries and grave sites. Arts and crafts can be viewed and bought in the area, and some of these include leather goods, curios and immaculate woodwork.

Science and Nature: The Tsitsikamma National Park is recognized the world over for its forests which contain and conserve one of the few true monarchs of the world's forests - the giant Outeniqua yellowwood. It has survived unchanged for millions of years and as such is one of the most successful species in existence. The park is home to Africa's oldest and largest marine reserve, which protects inter-tidal and marine life. Some of the interesting wildlife that can be spotted in the area include dolphins and porpoises, the highly threatened African Black Oystercatcher, the Knysna Lourie, the Cape Clawless Otter and the rare Blue Duiker. Tourists are enchanted by the rugged scenery and many spools of film are shot here everyday! At the Storms River Mouth visitors can cross the river using the elegant suspension bridge.

Entertainment: Tsitsikamma is an adventure sports enthusiast's dream! One of the most fascinating activities is the Tsitsikamma Canopy Tour, a unique eco-wilderness adventure that takes place in the magnificent Tsitsikamma indigenous rainforest. A first in Africa, tourists traverse from one platform to another, 30m above the forest floor, suspended by steel cables. Up in the treetops, the scenery and bird life are quite spectacular. Other, more down to earth activities include guided quad bike tours in the Tsitsikamma Forest at Storms River Village and black water tubing and kloofing.

Sport: The forest and surrounds are internationally renowned for their spectacular hiking and walking trails. The famous 5-day Otter Trail starts at the Storms River Mouth and winds its way through awesome terrain. The area is also very popular with mountain bikers and climbers.

Did you know? The coastal section of the park is one of the largest Marine Protected Areas (MPA) in the world and conserves 11% of South Africa's Temperate South Coast rocky shoreline.
