The Tsitsikamma National Park is a protected area on
the Garden Route, Western Cape and Eastern Cape, South Africa. It is a coastal
reserve well known for its indigenous forests, dramatic coastline, and the
Otter Trail. On 6 March 2009 it was amalgamated with the Wilderness National
Park and various other areas of land to form the Garden Route National Park.
The park covers an 80 kilometres (50 miles) long
stretch of coastline. Nature's Valley is at the western end of the park, and
the main accommodation is at Storms River Mouth. Near the park is the Bloukrans
Bridge, the world's highest bungee jump at 216 metres (709 ft).
The word "Tsitsikamma" hails from the
Khoekhoe language tse-tsesa, meaning "clear", and gami, meaning
"water", probably referring to the clear water of the Tsitsikamma
River. Other meanings are 'place of much water' and 'waters begin'.
