It is a perfect place to visit to enjoy green sceneries that are camera worthy.

Jagged rocks contrasting with the turquoise colors of the ocean produce convincing oceanic landscapes. This will be one of the best places where photographers wish to capture action, and wildlife.
The Cederberg Mountains will be spectacular to those who are attracted to wild and rough machine. The surreal rock formations and huge night skies are a usual sight. The Wolfberg Arch and Maltese Cross are lit in golden-hour, and the area is known to have some of the best astrophotography in South Africa, due to light pollution being minimal.
The semi-arid Karoo is hauntingly beautiful, with expanse landscapes, rare quiver trees, and dilapidated farmhouses scattered all over the plains. High contrasts and wide skies make dramatic compositions, particularly in sunset and sunrise.
Robberg Nature Reserve, close to Plettenberg bay is a coastal peninsula that has rough cliffs with great diversity of wildlife including seals. Dramatic coastline at Mossel bay (such as the Cape St Blaize Lighthouse and hiking trails) would be an excellent environment to mix landscape and wildlife shots.
