Knysna South Africa - The Heart of the Garden Route | 90+ Countries With 3 Kids

Located on South Africa’s famous Garden Route, Knysna (pronounced as ‘ny-zah’), is one of the country’s most famous locations. It is a natural paradise of lush, indigenous forests, tranquil lakes, wildlife and golden beaches. The breathtakingly pretty lagoon is now a protected marine reserve that is home to the extraordinary sea horse and over 200 species of fish.
The endangered Knysna seahorse is named after the town and can be spotted during a good snorkeling session in the estuary.
We really enjoyed the view from the heads - a striking geological spot made up of a pair of huge, brightly coloured cliffs lying at the mouth of the lagoon, flanking a channel of potentially treacherous water that flows into Knysna lagoon. We were told that from the banks of the rocks we could see whales because Knysna is on the migratory route of the Southern Right and other species but unfortunately we weren't able to see one these marine mammals.
Enjoy the video and let us know where you’re watching from!

You could easily fall in love with south africa. A place of beautiful sunsets and amazing sunrises

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I know the scenery there is out of this world!

[@RussWildCat]

My Beautiful Africa ❤. I missed this country for almost 20 years, being out of my favorite place on the Earth, living and working in the USA. Knysna, since I visit this little town in 2000, took my heart forever. I fall in love with South Africa and I could not already live any where else. I moved out of Russia to South Africa and lived there before to take another move to the USA, Florida, I left my two daughters in South Africa as I knew I will be back soon. Last year I bought a house in Knysna but now I am retired in the US and ready to move to share rest of my life and whole my love with my favorite place on the Earth as my love to Africa for time I was out, got even more deep ❤❤❤. I cannot wait when finally I will back to settle down in my new home in Knysna, joining my family, which grow more than double now 🥰.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I can see how you must be so excited to go back and live there. Especially to be with your family too. Enjoy!!

You guys didn't do Kwa-Zulu Natal (Durban and the lower South Coast) and the Kruger National park in Mpumalaga (the latter being absolutely iconic)...

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah, we didn't do Kruger National Park but we did visit Richards Bay and Pretoria and area.

[@kumwendafrank]

I'm looking the way how I can travel to knysna town for fetching used agriculture machines like tractors etc any one can direct me to reach safely in knysna will be appreciated

[@malikbota7685]

Very nice ❤❤❤

[@danensis]

I'm watching your videos in chronological order, so sorry about commenting on two-year-old videos. It was nice to see a bit more of Angelique.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

That's awesome! You're probably thinking our first videos were awful. We honestly thought we should take some of them down but it's fun to watch the progress. You'll be able to watch the girls grow. 😂

[@charlesevisser3856]

Love it so many memories for me !! Anyway we immigrated to Oz have fun be safe :)

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Ah, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the videos!

[@b.hagedash7973]

Interesting bit of trivia that recently became quite relevant, the Storms river bridge was designed by Riccardo Morandi, the same chap who designed the Morandi motorway bridge in Genoa Italy that collapsed in August last year.

[@LeonVanDyk]

There were maintenence issues... not design issues

[@ivanstrydom9949]

Knysna is also home to IGTA tennis academy!!!! The best!!!!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

That’s cool!

[@kamerun1]

Would anyone recommend buying in Knysna as an investment?

[@shadekiahpops8988]

The South African Rand will depreciate as the country slowly falls apart. I wouldn't invest in knysna even though it's a lovely town. I spend 2 months there every year.

[@kamerun1]

@@shadekiahpops8988 thanks for the sound advice

[@thabisomaila8095]

@@kamerun1 Do your own research, the last people you should listen to are white south Africans, most of them have nothing positive to say ever since 1994. I am South African, my advice is, do your own open research

[@tamaragwengula4947]

@@thabisomaila8095 they are bitter those ones

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah best would be to go there yourself and check it out. Spend sometime and get to know the areas.

[@beafitze5909]

Great to see you in Knysna and Plettenberg Bay! We have a three bedroom holiday apartment in Plett if you feel like returning there for a few settled weeks at some point! ;-)

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Thanks Bea!!!

[@88mjterry]

This was so helpful in planning my trip to Knysna. What was the name of the cafe on the little island in Knysna. Enrico's looked fabulous too.

[@aymansofar9577]

A beautiful place

[@festamix8]

Wonderful city!

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yeah, this whole area of SA is beautiful!

[@lekholokoelekotsoanamoloi9593]

Hi . Would you see yourself retiring here after many years ?

[@ernestharper3039]

You show everything but little of Knysna

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

It's such a beautiful area. I guess we only skimmed the surface of it then.

[@amandachili9218]

Absolutely loved your vlog, beautiful scenery. What’s the name of the last restaurant with spectacular sunset views?

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

I can’t remember it. It was an Italian restaurant though and you had to drive along to coast to get there.

[@harishsehrawat2226]

Can someone give me the tracklist of the background music please

[@Diamond_AB]

I'm in Knysna

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Cool!

[@joliettraveler]

Are all those wood carvings made locally? I know from experience that you need to be very careful in Hawaii when you buy them. Many are fakes made in Indonesia.

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

That's a really good question you need to ask yourself these days. I'd guess they would be but you never know.

[@martinsmith852]

Not sure about Knysna but in KZN they carve them on the side of the road. It's usually local or maybe from Mozambique

[@buntym7381]

NICE

[@charlesevisser3856]

if you can visit Stellenbosch and Graaf Reinet :)

[@GrowingUpWithoutBorders]

Yes! We did go back and visited Franschhoek but first we did a whole tour through Namibia so you’ll see Stellenbosch later on in our upcoming videos. 😉

One other thing that's very good about reading books to gain knowledge is like Margret Mead book is a study on primitive society.is living with the people, during the dance of the females was able to protect her self from becoming pregnant, and if she did become pregnant, they all loved the baby like it was there own, and thought it came from above, and useably the older female would engage in sex with a young boy, and a young female with an older man.
