Others say its proximity to the popular suspension bridge makes this a busy trail - especially during peak season - and although it’s no Otter Trail, it’s still requires a reasonable pair of trainers and level of fitness. But the views at the end of the hike was astounding.”

This coastal hike across beach boulders was gorgeous on its own. “We opted for this over the suspension bridge and feel like we definitely made the right choice. One reviewer argues this trail is “an extremely underrated feature” of the Garden Route. The Waterfall Trail is one of them, and it’s earned the position of 16 out of 338 possible top things to do in the Eastern Cape. But there are several other less-known walks around the province that are easier to get into, and require slightly less multiple day hiking exertion. The Eastern Cape is ideal hiking territory, and is the location for the world-famous Otter Trail. The building and property on the whole is very well maintained, it was lovely to visit.” Waterfall Trail The review voted the most helpful says: “Definitely worth a visit, the Groot Kerk stands majestically in the middle of the town, and is a must see in Graaff-Reinet. Graaff-Reinet’s Dutch Reformed Church called the Groot Kerk sits only beneath the Valley of Desolation and the Reinet House as top attractions in the quaint Karoo town - and it still manages to hold onto a top 15 position for the entire Eastern Cape Province.

The majority of online reviews sit between Very Good and Excellent, and include such glowing remarks as “ relaxing and beautiful park”, “ a little slice of paradise', and “ speechless”. The expansive beauty of the park is what draws most of the compliments, as does wildlife not often seen in other national parks. Mountain Zebra National Park slots in beneath both, but still occupies sixth position on Tripadvisor in the province. The Mountain Zebra National Park is hardly an unknown or uncelebrated South African national park - but in the Eastern Cape it’s often overshadowed by a slew of high-end private reserves, or Addo Elephant National Park. Others confirm that there are nice views of the coastline and rock pools from the point, and interesting birdlife that includes the near-threatened black oystercatcher. One user says “The walk is interesting with rock pools, mussel beds and amazing features in the cliffs, where the wind has sculpted beautiful features in the sandstone.” It ranks top of things to do in Sedgefield, and 24 th for the entire province in the nature category. Gericke's PointĪlthough the Garden Route is not without notable attractions like the Knysna Heads and Wilderness Beach, Gerickes Point in Sedgefield is surprisingly favoured by online reviewers. Even so, most combine a drive over Meeringspoort with visits to the Swartberg, and nearby towns like Oudtshoorn and Prince Albert. Many others have used the reviews section to compliment the quality of the road and lay-bys, and cast aspersions on the gravel roads of the Swartberg Pass.

One user says in her Tripadvisor review, rated as one of the most helpful, “No amount of photographs or videos can do this area justice - you have to be there to appreciate the sheer scale of those convoluted sandstone folds!” But the pass also features surprisingly high in the entire province’s rankings - especially in the nature and parks category.Īt number 9 of 394, it’s higher than attractions like Kirstenbosch, the Knysna Heads, and fellow gorge Platteklip, in this section of Tripadvisor. It may come as no surprise that the Meiringspoort Pass ranks as the top thing to do in the town of De Rust - it just edges out the local farm stall.
