SAFARI
You can visit Harry, Sally and Duma, at the Knysna
Elephant Park, just a few kilometres out of Plett,
where you can learn more about these fascinating
animals and enjoy the walking trails and picnic in these
beautiful surroundings. 16km East of Plettenberg Bay is
Monkeyland, the world's first sanctuary for multi-specie
free-roaming monkeys.
At Monkeyland, previous caged monkeys from several
continents are rehabilitated and released in a 12 hectare
forest and visitors are able to view them by being taken
on monkey safaris by game rangers. Scenic flights are
offered by African Ramble - who specialise in low-flying
scenic flips along the magnificent coastline, including a
spectacular view of the majestic Tsitsikamma Mountains
and the Knysna Heads and inland over huge tracks of
indigenous forest.
Knysna's premier eco-experience is the John Benn Featherbed excursion. Cruises leave throughout the day, taking
you across the lagoon to the heads. Here an open-sided safari tractor will take you for a guided trip through the
John Benn Nature Reserve to the top of the heads, followed by a guided walk back down ending at a wonderful
restaurant set amongst the trees, where a hearty lunch or dinner can be enjoyed before heading back to the
mainland.
