Solo Travel TipsΒ· Solo Friendly

The Garden Route is perfect solo self-driving territory β€” rent a car in Cape Town or PE and drive at your own pace between Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, and Storms River. The Tsitsikamma zip line and bungee jump are solo-friendly adventure activities. Hostels along the route are social and well-connected. The drive itself, with fynbos, forests, and coastline, is one of the world's great solo road trips.
