The peaceful seaside holiday resort of Wilderness lies on the Garden Route near George, between the scenic coastline and the rolling foothills of the Outeniqua Mountain range. Wilderness, as part of the beautiful Lake District with its unique ecosystem, offers plenty of outdoor activities like birding, kayaking, mountain biking, or more high adrenaline sports like waterskiing and paragliding. Take romantic sunset walks or go horse riding along the long unspoilt beach with great viewing points to spot dolphins and whales.
