The N2 where it finally earns the name. Lakes, indigenous forest, a river mouth, and a stretch of Indian Ocean that stays on your left.

Top highlights

  • High altitude40 m
  • Wilderness lagoonThe lakes begin. Slow down.
  • Knysna HeadsA short detour. The lagoon meets a hard sea.
  • Road qualityMostly dual carriageway, easy, busy through Knysna. The old passes (Kaaimans, Grootrivier) are the soul if you leave the N2.
  • PermitsTsitsikamma sections of the park need a SANParks day pass for the trails, not the highway.
