    The Garden Route is absolutely beautiful. Green lush forest, colorful flowers and trips via boat to get the full effect of this beautiful area. We ventured into the monkey reserve and walked with the elephants. Beautiful from beginning to end. Santacruise Tours provided excellent service with their guided tour which made this trip enjoyable and I can't wait to get back to this area.
