Package Overview Enjoy a real Western Cape and Garden Route safari in South Africa on a 2500 hectare game farm with more than 1800 animals. Situated on the Garden Route, between Mossel Bay and George, the countryside surrounding the farm is lush with spectacular rock formations and dense vegetation. Besides game, one of the reserve's unique features is the extremely rare Black Impala, making it one of only two reserves in the world boasting these beautiful animals. There is also the opportunity to get close to the White rhino, lions and elephants. Safari packages and tours in South Africa are a must and since this safari is a short drive away from Cape Town it allows you to explore the Mother City before or after your Western Cape safari. On the exciting three-hour game drive, visitors can enjoy close encounters with other wildlife as well: Buffalo, Wildebeest, Sable, Giraffe, Eland, Kudu, Bontebok, Impala, Mountain Zebra, etc. A wide variety of bird species makes the farm a birdwatcher's paradise as well!
