Passing through the Tsitsikamma with a NMB Pass

About two hours from Nelson Mandela Bay lies the indigenous Tsitsikamma forest in the Garden Route with towering mountains views next to the N2, unpredictable weather and a rugged coastline. “Tsitsikamma” is the Khoi word for “place of abundant or sparkling water” and visitors flock to the plateau of Fynbos year after year in search of the ultimate shot of adrenalin, a breath of fresh ocean air and a true taste of South Africa.

The Tsitsikamma region is not only the place of abundant sparkling water, but it is also a place sparkling with abundant activities. If you want to sit in the sun, get on a bicycle, swing from ropes or traverse back to the sixties they got you covered and with the Nelson Mandela Bay Pass offering you more bang for your buck; things just got a whole lot easier.
