Knysna River

游侠半仙
South Africa with a group tour, come to Nasna by boat to visit the Coral Lake, overlooking the lake sea to connect the Indian Ocean and the mouth of the lake, this is a salt water lake formed by the rising tide of the sea, its lake area is the size of the West Lake in Hangzhou, China, and the good boat tour for about an hour. [View] The wind is calm and the waves are quiet, and the light is floating. [Cost-effective] high

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place! The sunsets are divine and you have a view of the ocean as you drive up to your accommodation.

Take a group tour in South Africa, starting from Cape Town along the Garden Route, drive to Mose Bay, visit the Dias Museum, the world's oldest postal system - the Postal Tree, and tour the Xhosa Caves in Mose Bay.

South Africa traveled with a group to Brenton On Sea Beach (Brenton Beach) in Garden Avenue National Park, the vast Indian Ocean is charming natural scenery, beaches, and sea. [View] Sea, beach. [Fun] Indian Ocean. [Cost-effective] High!

Plettenberg Beach

游侠半仙
Traveling with a group in South Africa, we came to Plettenberg Beach along the famous Garden Route in South Africa. This beach is famous for its sand sculptures. Many white tourists swim in the sea and sunbathe on the beach. [Scenery] The sea and sky are one color, and the beach is fine and soft. [Fun] The sea and the beach. [Cost-effectiveness] High.
