Wilderness is renowned as much for its tradition of hospitality, which began as far back as the late 1800’s, as it is for its natural beauty, vast stretches of beach, tranquillity and calm seas. Situated 15km east of George, Wilderness stretches from the Kaaimans River to the end of the Goukamma Nature Reserve. To the north, the Outeniqua mountain range borders Wilderness, while the south looks out to the Indian Ocean. The abundant wetlands, forests, mountains, beaches, open fields and fynbos provide an ideal habitat for the 200 species of birdlife found in this area.

Whilst the idyllic beauty of Wilderness is enough of a reason to visit the area, there is no shortage of activities and tours to keep you entertained. You can enjoy mountain biking, whale and dolphin watching, hang gliding, paragliding, horse riding, scenic drives and day tours as well as an extensive network of hiking trails, a number of popular picnic spots including the indigenous forest at the 800-year old Woodville Big Tree, and various watersports such as skiing, sailing, surfing and angling.

Excellent viewpoints include the Map of Africa for its breathtaking scenery of lakes, forests, mountains and coast, Dolphin’s Point, which is known for its whale and dolphin watching, and the Kaaimans River Bridge.
With all these attractions coupled with the year-round temperate climate where daytime temperatures rarely fall below 10°c, and a well-earned reputation for hospitality, Wilderness is truly the Garden Route’s premier holiday destination. However, if you are just passing through, Wilderness is in close proximity to the Garden Route landmark towns of George, Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Oudtshoorn and Mossel Bay.
