About George, South Africa
George is a city with 203,253 inhabitants in South Africa's Western Cape province. The city is a popular holiday and conference centre and the administrative and commercial hub of the Garden Route. The city is situated halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth on the Garden Route. It is situated on a 10 kilometer plateau between the Outeniqua Mountains to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south. The coloured township of Pacaltsdorp lies to the south. George is the sixth oldest town in South Africa.
he Garden Route has a Mediterranean climate, with warm summers, and mild to chilly winters. It is one of the highest rainfall regions in South Africa. Most rain falls in the winter and spring months, brought by the humid sea winds from the Indian Ocean. The city is served by George Airport (IATA: GRJ, ICAO: FAGG) formerly known as P.W. Botha Airport. George Airport has won awards for efficient operation two years running.
George is an ideal town from which to explore the area’s many scenic attractions – be it on the Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe train, on walks and hikes on the George and Cradock Peaks, on a boat fishing, or pushing a cart across the golf courses at Fancourt. Rich in historical landmarks, such as the Slave Tree and the King Edward VII Library, George retains a small-town character without compromising on a sophisticated infrastructure.
