Tsitsikamma National Park is renowned for its stunning coastal beauty, lush forests, and rich biodiversity. The park is part of the Garden Route National Park and spans across rugged cliffs, dense indigenous forests, and tranquil beaches, providing visitors with a variety of outdoor experiences. A highlight of the park is the famous Storms River Mouth, where the Storms River meets the Indian Ocean, creating dramatic landscapes that are perfect for photography, hiking, and kayaking. The park is home to an array of flora and fauna, including monkeys, birds, and vibrant plant life, and offers a wealth of trail systems that lead through ancient forests and along the spectacular coastline.
One of the park’s most famous attractions is the Tsitsikamma Canopy Trail and its iconic suspension rope bridges that stretch across the lush forest canopy, providing visitors with a unique bird’s-eye view of the surrounding environment. These bridges allow adventurers to safely explore the heights of the forest and marvel at the towering trees and diverse wildlife below. Another must-see feature of the park is the Big Tree, a magnificent 850-year-old yellowwood tree that stands at 36 meters tall and has a circumference of over nine meters. Visitors can take a short walk through the forest to reach the Big Tree, which is an awe-inspiring symbol of the park’s ancient natural heritage.
