The Homtini is a scenic river in the Garden Route region of the Western Cape, flowing through the dramatic topography of the Seven Passes Road between George and Knysna. The river's name, of Khoi origin, is said to mean either "mountain honey" or "difficult passage," hinting at its rugged and beautiful character. The river valley is traversed by the historic Homtini Pass, a narrow, winding gravel road that descends to and ascends from the river, offering anglers access to a remote and forested fishing environment.
