George
Scenically situated on a coastal plateau at the foot of the Outeniqua Mountains. The George Museum, housed in the old drostdy, includes a splendid collection of Victorian bric-a-brac. Steam enthusiasts should not miss a ride on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe, one of the few remaining steam trains in the country. It runs between George and Knysna. Two scenic passes, the Outeniqua and Montagu, link George to the interior. George floral route
The Cape Floral Kingdom spreads its rich finery throughout the George region, encompassing two vegetation types: Fynbos and Afromontane forest. A short journey across the Outeniqua mountains opens up yet another floral wonderland: the semi-arid succulent Karoo.
The whole Garden Route is a natural garden that is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, which is the world’s smallest but richest plant kingdom, boasting some 8 500 species of which 68% occur only in South Africa. The Garden Route offers a great diversity of vegetation types as well as several special plants of its own. George town history
The town was established in about 1810 as a woodcutter’s outpost which supplied timber to the Cape Colony. You can still relive this flourishing timber industry at the George Museum, housed in the old Drosdy, and visit the timber route which also takes in interesting furniture shops like Touw Meubels, Woodcraft and De Steyl.
