04 Nov Knysna - Featherbed Excursion

Great day today where we went by ferry through the Knysna Lagoon and then carried on by 4x4 vehicles  to move up the Outeniqua forest and hike down the 2.2 km trail with spectacular views and unique Flora and Fauna - some sections with steep and rough terrain, so not all of us could do the hike but most of us did and we all had fun climbing down. Afternoon we spent at the pool and some of us explored the little city of Knysna.

"The Knysna Lagoon is more accurately an estuary where the waters of five different rivers flowing out of the Outeniqua Forest merge together and meet the ocean at the landmark sandstone cliffs which are known as the Knysna Heads. The privately owned Featherbed Nature Reserve occupies 150 hectares on the Western Head of the Knysna Heads"
