The coastal town of Wilderness is an idyllic Western Cape destination along South Africa’s Garden Route. It is a firm favourite among locals due to it’s breathtaking scenery and laid-back village atmosphere.
Beaches, lakes and lagoons are framed with beautiful homes and green mountain slopes. Wilderness is also known for being the home and final resting place of former South African state president PW Botha.
