Wanneer die meeste mense dink aan Suid-Afrika, dink hulle aan gaan op safari in die Afrika Bosveld en die Tuinroete is een van die gewildste gebiede vir reisigers wat op safari wil gaan.

Die Tuinroete strek al langs Suid-Afrika se suidoostelike kus tussen Mosselbaai en Stormsrivier.

Dit is veral 'n welige en groen pad 'n verskeidenheid van verskillende soorte ekosisteme en habitatte deurkruis, van mere en strandmere tot strande en koraalriwwe.

Daar is tien wildreservate op en af met die pad en elkeen bied sy eie safari ekskursies aan en het sy eie magnetisme.

Byvoorbeeld, die "Sanbona Wildlife Reserve" is geleë in die Klein Karoo en bewaar die ryk kultuur van die San-mense, wat die eerstes was om te woon in die streek.

Sanbona het sommige van die rotskuns wat geskep is deur die San-mense, plus 'n aantal geologiese eienaardighede en 'n baie skaars witleeu-spesie.

Baie ander soorte diere kan gesien word op 'n safari by Sanbona, insluitende renosters, olifante, luiperds, buffels, beide groot en klein wildsbokke, wildebeeste en sebra's.

Kleinwild kan ook gevind word, insluitende jakkalse, aardwolwe, hiënas en rooikatte.

Nog 'm wildreservaat geleë langs die Tuinroete is die Idwala Game Lodge, 'n privaat reservaat wat aangrensend is aan die Lalibela Wildreservaat.

Idwala het oorspronklike uitsigte oor die golwende landskap en bied 'n safari aan wat reisigers neem deur die grasvlakte, Akasia-bos en fynbos.

Idwala is ook die tuiste van die "Groot Vyf" wild.

When most people think of South Africa, they think of going on safari in the African bush country, and the Garden Route is one of the most popular areas for travelers wanting to go on safari.

The Garden Route stretches along South Africa's southeastern coast between Mossel Bay and Storms River.

It's an especially lush and verdurous path which traverses a variety of different types of ecosystems and habitats, from lakes and lagoons to beaches and coral reefs.

There are ten game reserves up and down the path, each of which offer its own safari excursions and has its own magnetism.

For example, the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is situated in the Klein Karoo and preserves the rich culture of the San people, who were the first to live in the region.

Sanbona holds some of the rock art created by the San people, plus a number of geological oddities and a very rare white lion species.

Many other kinds of animals can be seen on a safari at Sanbona, including rhinoceroses, elephants, leopards, buffalos, both big and little antelopes, wildebeests, and zebras.

Small game animals can be found as well, including jackals, aardwolves, hyenas, and caracals.

Another game reserve located along the Garden Route is the Idwala Game Lodge, a private reserve which sits adjacent to the Lalibela Game Reserve.

Idwala features pristine views of the undulating landscape and offers a safari which takes travelers through the savanna, acacia forest, and fynbos.

Idwala is also home to the "Big Five" game animals.
