The Map of Africa is a spectacular scene of mountains and forests. The Wilderness area is known for it’s vast number of rivers, lagoons and natural lakes, and here you get a clear view of the Kaaimans River Valley. It is amazing how the course of the Kaaimans River has the shape of the African continent. What a beautiful sight!

High up in the hills of Wilderness, along the famed Garden Route, lies the Map of Africa. A spectacular viewpoint offering a unique sight - quite literally a Map of Africa. Over the years, as the Kaaimans River has flown through the lush landscape it has created a distinct shape of the outline of Africa, and from a certain viewpoint, you can clearly see this mesmerising wonder. Amidst the trees and thick greenery, this tranquil and spectacular stop is the perfect Insta-worthy moment and is sure to bring you real close to Mother Earth. You'll also be able to admire the sweeping views over Wilderness and the paragliders flying overhead as the launch site is nearby. A beauty to behold.
