Did the Kingfisher trail while camping at Ebb and Flow. It's an awesome forest hike. Beautiful area.
The waterfall area is beautiful, with many large pools perfect for swimming in the heat! The hike concludes with quite a lengthily boardwalk in the trees which is great for spotting birds at eye level and generally getting a nice viewpoint down to the river. The “hike” more of a walk really was really easy and I would recommend it to people of all ages and abilities. The only reason it got 4/5 stars is the sheer amount of litter around the waterfall. More than I could carry back in my small hiking bag
Gorgeous hiking trails, canoeing trips and camping sites. Hiking trails are for all fitness levels. Picnic spots are also available along your route so pack some snacks and just enjoy nature! There is a small fee to enter - R52 for South African residents.
Beautiful scenery. Always special staying over at Wilderness National Park. Tranquil and peaceful. Love being so close to nature. Rise and shine early morning, sunrise stroll through the park and enjoy the fresh air. Nice wholesome breakfast and late afternoon braai as the sunset. Canoeing on the river and take a dip too. Keep a look out for the Knysna Loerie. Pack up and go visit Wilderness National Park now.
Epic walk to the waterfall from Ebb and Flow. 8km round trip on a board walk, with a swim in the waterfall and pools below. Waterfall swimming not advised for less abled people as there is rock scrambling to get in and out of the water
This is the ideal park to go on half day walk with family and friends. If you walk up and down on the right side East side of the river the path is super smooth and well organized with plenty of wooden platform. The West side it's a bit more rough but still easy. The waterfall is really cute and your can chill once there, get some sun and read a book. Be careful as it might be slippery up there. It's easy, do it!
Lovely office with super friendly and helpful staff. Really impressed but sanparks never disappoints! A must to come to the wilderness garden route it’s so tranquil and lots of bird life and great hikes all around. Felt very safe everywhere too!
Very high price to get in, 180 rand is too much for this park, other national parks are better at less than half of the price robbeberg
Magnificent hidden gem, tucked into one of the most dramatic and beautiful places on earth. Visit this place if you haven't yet. River valleys and old forests meet the coastline. Time works differently here and the people from this region are welcoming and very 'old-world'.
An awesome park. I really enjoyed our stay there. Friendly helpfull staff. Good 24 hour security. Well kept clean facilities with a laundry and scullary are available. There are chalets available but if you really want to experience nature, you need to camp. Lovely walks with canoe rentals are available, or you can just relax next to the river. With only a minutes drive from the ocean it is very convenient. Shops and restaurants are also close by. I love this place and would recommend it to everyone!
