    Please note that George airport is often closed up with mist during the winter months, if you are getting a international connection flight in Johannesburg please allow enough time to allow for this possibility. I would not take a same day international flight during winter months.
    My husband flies from this airport often and this past year many people missed international flights.

    GRJ Airport

    George has a well-served airport for such a relative small town.

    It used to be called P.W. Botha airport, after the infamous ex-President. It was quickly renamed after the end of apartheid, and is now George Airport, or just known by it's code, GRJ.

    Local legend has it that the airport should have been situated in nearby Oudtshoorn, as the approach to George over the mountain is especially dangerous (this is also where cricket captain Hansie Cronje died in a plane crash). The interventention of the Groot Krokodil (Botha), had them build it in George though, which was conveniently close to his old voting district, and summer home (and current residence) in the Wilderness.

    An alternative airport to get to George is Plettenberg Bay. Both airports peak during the summer holidays, when everybody and his dog flies down from Johannesburg for the summer.

    If you want to hire a car and drive in South Africa but dont feel to drive in big and busy cities then Goerge is the airport to be, fly to George from Cape Town or from Johannesburg, car rental at airport , avis, budget etc, and from here you can drive garden route east and west (missing the busy cities like Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, - still lots to see.
    George is not a very big airport and therefore not as much traffic as a big city..

    There are a lot of roadworks ( March 2007) from Plettenberg Bay area to George Airport, my trip took 2 hours longer, although it should not take so long build up of traffic at times can cause long delays, if you lucky you get through quicker,PLEASE ALLOW FOR THIS AS NOT TO MISS FLIGHTS!!from George Airport.

    Oysters on the rocks

    About 20 mins. west of George, are two little places called Tergniet and Reebok. At spring low tide, the rock shelves are a wonderful place to shell oysters, and have them fresh on the rocks with some lemon, pepper & a nice bottle of champagne.

    Try not to net the wildlife in the picture though!

  • Directions: 20 mins. west of George on the N2, take the Kleinbrak turn-off, and then follow the signs to the Tergniet beach.

    Victoria Bay is one of South Africa's top surfing spots. It's a relatively small beach, with limited parking etc., and can get quite crowded in summer.

    Leave a Comment

  • Address: Off the N2 between George and Wilderness
  • Directions: Take the N2 to Knysna, after leaving town you'll see an Engen garage after about 7 mins. The turnoff is about 400m' past this to the right. Follow the road all the way down to the beach.
