    Save to favouritesPrintMailPhantom ForestBungy-jumping, sailing, surfing, canoeing, kloofing… anyone touring South Africa’s Garden Route would think that terra firma had gone out of fashion. If so, then Phantom Forest is the place to be seen (or not seen, given its camouflage), for here you sleep in a [r:SA027:wooden house] perched halfway up to the jungle canopy. Thanks to tall stilts and huge windows, you can sit face to face with a Knysna woodpecker in the comfort of an armchair or bathtub. Bathtub? Up a tree? Oh yes, just because this is the monkeyzone, don’t think it has to be primitive. Fully-equipped bathroom, spacious sitting area, sumptuous double bed - it’s all there, thanks to the ingenious design and décor of Kit Stewart, who still runs the reserve today. You’ll even find a Jacuzzi, a massage area and 2 gourmet restaurants, situated along elevated walkways. Not to mention a freshwater pool with views over the lagoons of Knysna. Tarzan never had it so good!
