Its easily reached on the N2 between Cape Town (500km) and Port Elizabeth (260km). It is a small town with a Mediterranean Maritime climate. Summers are hot with mild to chilly winters. It is one of the richest rainfall areas, most of which occurs in the winter months, brought by the humid sea-winds from the Indian ocean. The town has grown up around the Knysna Lagoon covering some 17 square kilometres. It is one of the country's largest estuaries which is guarded by The Heads, imposing sandstone cliffs, giving protection against the Indian Ocean. Beaches, lakes, mountains, forests and rivers provide opportunities for leisure and outdoor adventure. Within the town, craft shops, flea-markets and restaurants offer holiday makers the small-town charm and hospitality which has made tourism its primary industry. The indigenous forests constitute the largest complex of closed-canopy forest in southern Africa, whilst the remarkable richness of the Fynbos vegetation contributes over 8000 plant species to the Cape floral kingdom. Knysna is home to the Knysna Elephants, the unique seahorse and the Knysna Loerie.
