Knysna

Knysna, South Africa’s Favourite Town, nestles on the banks of a stunningly beautiful lagoon, surrounded by the Indian Ocean.

A natural paradise of indigenous forests, tranquil lakes and golden beaches, make Knysna a natural wonderland with a moderate climate.

Knysna is home to the only forest elephants in South Africa. Bryde’s, Humpback, Killer and Southern Right Whales frolick along our coastal waters from June to November, whilst dolphins are year-round residents.

Knysna boasts a fine selection of accommodation, restaurants and enjoyable activities to suit all tastes. That’s what makes our town the perfect holiday destination.
