Sunday, September 19, 2010 By Debby NorthcoatSituated in the center of the Tsitsikamma Woodland and based on ancient Yellowwood trees and shrubs, unusual Narina Trogan, ghostly herds of elephant and a number of adventure pursuits, Storms River is a prime Eastern Cape holiday destination. A Forest Hideaway Flanked by heavy Afro-montane woodland and majestic seaside coves hammered into submission by the Indian Ocean, the Storms River runs powerfully into the sea via a narrow and magnificent gorge traversed by a individual span bridge, 130m over the river. Serenity, isolation and panoramic beauty are all a fundamental element of a Storms River sojourn and people to this natural wonderland are at times rewarded with fleeting glimpses of rare, vibrant wood land birds. The residual members of renowned herds of woodland elephant are reputed to live deep within the woodland and remnants of those evasive monsters can be found way from the beaten track. Entry to the Garden Route Being the Eastern Cape’s southern entrance to the Garden Route, the picturesque town of Storms River is the perfect base out of which to investigate the wealth of this majestic area comprising languid lagoons, heavy local forests, towering mountain peaks and also the wonderful seaside vacation spots of Nature’s Valley, Plettenberg Bay and Wilderness. Choose from leading Storms River Phillip Island Accommodation which include snug coastal cottages, comfortable bed & breakfasts, luxury tented camps and top end resorts. Sanspark – Tsitsikamma Storms River is found in the Tsitsikamma National Park, the third most frequented national park in the country. Besides preserving the remaining areas of indigenous forest, the vast conservation region also safeguards inter-tidal and sea life. Look out for Bottlenose Dolphin, rare Bryde’s Whale, Cape Clawless Otter, the sporadic leopard and a host of other varieties. Combine with all of this the fynbos, having its stunning restios and in season bouquets of Protea, Erica and uncommon Disa, and you will understand why the Tsitsikamma is often a sought-after visitor jewel. Adventure Things to do Boasting an excellent mixture of river, mountain, ocean and forest surroundings, Storms River gives a wide array of enthralling adventure activities. Trails, which change from brief day walks to tough overnight hikes, are one of the prime interesting attractions of this naturally beautiful area, with the renowned Otter Trail the gem within the crown. Canoeing, sailing, river rafting and tubing are well-known water sports but for an incomparable rush of adrenalin, dare to do the Bloukrans Bungee, which at 216m is the highest commercial bungee jump on this planet.
