Officially the Route starts at Heidelberg in the Western Cape and ends at the Storms River on the extreme western reach of the neighbouring Eastern Cape Province. The whale capital, Hermanus, and the safari region of the Eastern Cape, located on either side and just beyond the borders of the Garden Route have also been included in this document. The Garden Route was so named, due to its lush and ecologically diverse vegetation and the numerous lagoons and lakes dotted along the scenic coastline. The region includes quaint coastal towns such as Mossel Bay, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Nature’s Valley and George. Further inland lies the picturesque and historical town of Oudtshoorn, home to a large Ten nature reserves sustain the highly diverse number of ostrich farms and the famous Cango ecosystems of the area, including unique marine Caves. reserves with soft coral reefs, dolphins, seals and a host of other marine species.

Venues include everything from world- class golf courses to the world’s highest bungee jumping bridge, the Bloukrans Bridge Bungee. The Garden Route Access Information The Garden Route is serviced by two main airports, George Airport in the Western Cape and Port Elizabeth Airport in the Eastern Cape. Both can be easily accessed via domestic connecting flights from Johannesburg and Cape Town. There are also several private airstrips providing access for charter flights. The Garden Route offers visitors exquisite scenic beauty in a rarely encountered series of magnificent landscapes, seascapes and natural phenomena. By far the best way to take in the splendour of this world famous region is to take a slow drive from Cape Town or Port Elizabeth, making numerous stops along the way. Estimated travelling times using the town of Knysna as the midway mark: Port Elizabeth - Knysna: 4 hours Knysna – Cape Town: 6 hours Knysna – Oudtshoorn: 1hr 30min Knysna – Plettenberg Bay: 30min Knysna – George: 45min Knysna - Hermanus: 4hrs 30min Hermanus – Cape Town: 1hr 20min The Garden Route Climate Information The Garden Route has an oceanic climate, with mild to warm summers and mild to cool winters. According to the Guinness Book of Records it has the mildest climate in South Africa and the second mildest in the world, after Hawaii. Temperatures rarely fall below 10°C (50o F) in winter and rarely rise beyond 28°C (82o F) in summer. The year-round rainfall peaks slightly during the spring months when humid sea-winds from the Indian Ocean release precipitation along the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains. These mountain ranges are situated just a short distance inland from the coast.

Started in 1999, Garden Route Game Lodge became the first private game reserve in the Western Cape and Garden Route region to offer big game viewing safaris. The game reserve started as an ambitious project to restore an area of old farm land and stock it with wildlife that previously occurred here. Over the years, the reserve has expanded by incorporating neighbouring farm lands and in doing so creating much needed habitat for wildlife. From humble beginnings Garden Route Game Lodge now provides employment for many families in the local community and has become a favourite Safari destination among local and foreign travellers. We welcome you to our restaurant, Serengeti’s from the Maasai word meaning “open spaces”, where our food philosophy is to use seasonal produce from our own farm or from nearby farmers.

  • 3.2. Regulatory Hierarchy for Energy Generation Projects
    PROPOSED TSITSIKAMMA COMMUNITY WIND ENERGY FACILITY, EASTERN CAPE PROVINCE Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report September 2011 3.2. Regulatory Hierarchy for Energy Generation Projects The South African energy industry is evolving rapidly, with regular changes to legislation and industry role-players. The regulatory hierarchy for an energy generation project of this nature consists of three tiers of authority who exercise control through both statutory and non-statutory instruments (i.e. National, Provincial, and Local). The main regulatory agencies at a national level include: » Department of Energy (DoE) - the DoE is the controlling authority in terms of the Electricity Act (Act No. 41 of 1987), and is responsible for policy relating to energy including renewable energy. Wind energy is considered under the White Paper for Renewable Energy and the DoE undertakes research in this regard. » National Energy Regulator of South Africa (NERSA) - this body is responsible for regulating all aspects of the electricity sector, and will ultimately issue generation licenses for renewable energy developments. » Department of Environmental Affairs (DEA) - this department is responsible for environmental policy and is the controlling authority in terms of NEMA and the EIA Regulations. DEA has been made the competent authority responsible for granting the relevant environmental authorisations for all renewable energy projects which are regarded of national importance. » The South African Heritage Resources Agency (SAHRA) - the National Heritage Resources Act (Act No. 25 of 1999) and the associated provincial regulations provides legislative protection for listed or proclaimed sites, such as urban conservation areas, nature reserves and proclaimed scenic routes. » South African National Roads Agency Limited (SANRAL): this department is responsible for all national road routes.

  • In the Little Karoo, South Africa
    ASPECTS OF THE ECOLOGY OF LEOPARDS (PANTHERA PARDUS) IN THE LITTLE KAROO, SOUTH AFRICA A THESIS SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY OF RHODES UNIVERSITY DEPARTMENT OF ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY BY GARETH MANN FEBRUARY 2014 i ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Leopards (Panthera pardus) are the most common large predators, free roaming outside of protected areas across most of South Africa. Leopard persistence is attributed to their tolerance of rugged terrain that is subject to less development pressure, as well as their cryptic behaviour. Nevertheless, existing leopard populations are threatened indirectly by ongoing transformation of natural habitat and directly through hunting and conflict with livestock farmers. Together these threats may further isolate leopards to fragmented areas of core natural habitat. I studied leopard habitat preferences, population density, diet and the attitudes of landowners towards leopards in the Little Karoo, Western Cape, South Africa, an area of mixed land-use that contains elements of three overlapping global biodiversity hotspots. Data were gathered between 2010 and 2012 using camera traps set up at 141 sites over an area of ~3100km2, GPS tracking collars fitted to three male leopards, scat samples (n=76), interviews with landowners (n=53) analysed in combination with geographical information system (GIS) layers. My results reveal that leopards preferred rugged, mountainous terrain of intermediate elevation, avoiding low-lying, open areas where human disturbance was generally greater. Despite relatively un-fragmented habitat within my study area, the leopard population density (0.75 leopards/100km2) was one of the lowest yet recorded in South Africa. This may reflect low prey densities in mountain refuges in addition to historical human persecution in the area.

  • Misgund Orchards
    MISGUND ORCHARDS ENVIRONMENTAL AUDIT 2014 Grey Rhebok Pelea capreolus Prepared for Mr Wayne Baldie By Language of the Wilderness Foundation Trust In March 2002 a baseline environmental audit was completed by Conservation Management Services. This foundational document has served its purpose. The two (2) recommendations have been addressed namely; a ‘black wattle control plan’ in conjunction with Working for Water Alien Eradication Programme and a survey of the fish within the rivers was also addressed. Furthermore updated species lists have resulted (based on observations and studies undertaken within the region). The results of these efforts have highlighted the significance of the farm Misgund Orchards and the surrounds, within the context of very special and important biodiversity. Misgund Orchards prides itself with a long history of fruit farming excellence, and has strived to ensure a healthy balance between agricultural priorities and our environment. Misgund Orchards recognises the need for a more holistic and co-operative regional approach towards our environment and needs to adapt and design a more sustainable approach. The context of Misgund Orchards is significant, straddling the protected areas Formosa Forest Reserve (Niekerksberg) and the Baviaanskloof Mega Reserve. A formidable mountain wilderness with World Heritage Status and a Global Biodiversity Hotspot (See Map 1 overleaf). Rhombic egg eater Dasypeltis scabra MISGUND ORCHARDS Langkloof Catchment MAP 1 The regional context of Misgund Orchards becomes very apparent, where the obvious strategic opportunity exists towards creating a bridge of corridors linking the two mountain ranges Tsitsikamma and Kouga (south to north). The environmental significance of this cannot be overstated – essentially creating a protected area from the ocean into the desert of the Klein-karoo, a traverse of 8 biomes, a veritable ‘garden of Eden’.
