South Africa's Garden Route offers up great off-season deals

Don’t make the mistake of assuming that because high travel seasons are the most popular time of year to travel, they’re also the BEST time of year to travel. This mindset will ensure that you miss out on some excellent deals. A great example can be found in South Africa’s Garden Route. This region’s highest season falls in the summer months (Dec/Jan) when thousands of native South Africans descend up on cities like Knysna and Plettenberg Bay for their summer holidays. Consequently, prices are at their absolute peak during this period.

As the summer winds down, however, this beautiful region settles into a more relaxed pace and a hefty array of great travel deals begin to emerge. Additionally, the winter months offer some more temperate weather, avoiding the searing heat of summer whilst still enjoying plenty of sun. Sound appealing? Check out Karell Holidays’ newest WINTER SPECIAL an 8 day self drive adventure in and around beautiful Knysna.
