Long sandy beaches on one side and then forest, rivers and waterfalls on the other is a difficult combination to beat; welcome to Wilderness which is around 400km to the east of Cape Town along the Garden route. We found a sort of converted farmhouse tucked away within the forest to stay in with owners who were permanently high on life (or something else). We went off to explore the forest by hiring a kayak for a brief paddle upstream before walking the remainder of the journey on foot up to a couple of small waterfalls. The swim was certainly refreshing along with the pounding back massage from the waterfall. If we had another week we would have continued eastwards to explore exotic sounding places such as Kynsna and Tsitsikamma ; instead it was a road trip back to Cape Town for more of the good life there.
