What an awesome place Tsitsikamma is, had an all too brief visit there on our recent trip. The visit made all the better by the sunshine and huge swell rolling in plus some interesting birds and a wonderful Bushbuck in the forest and the Rock Hyrax were rather photogenic too. Some photos below.

No we didn't stay in the cabins, although having seen them I can't think of many places I'd rather stay - spectacular. We were actually in Knysna which is part of the reason we ended up only having a few hours in the park rather than a whole day.

Did you know that some of the campsites have a similar location ?
Some are a few rows behind the foremost ones , but enjoy a similar view .

Tsitsikamma is a jewell .
