Waterside Road

Embark on a journey along Waterside Road in Wilderness, South Africa —a drive that captures the serene heart of the Garden Route. As you set off, the road winds alongside glistening waterways that mirror the clear blue sky, framed by ancient forests and rugged mountain silhouettes. The drive offers a peaceful retreat into nature. Ideal for moments of quiet reflection or a scenic photo stop, Waterside Road invites you to experience the unspoiled beauty and calming rhythm of Wilderness.  It is a shorter version of the Hoewil Hoopla Route, taking less than 10 minutes in total.  It is not a looped road, so starting from the George side of Waterside Road, drive along Waterside Road and then either turn right onto Hoekwil Road to get back onto the N2 or find a safe point to turn around and drive the stunning road back again.
