Premium Cape Town Full Day Safari
Your day begins early, with your tour guide to whisk you from Cape Town to our private reserve. The scenic drive itself is a treat, as you pass through dramatic mountain ranges, sprawling valleys and picturesque vineyards on your way to the reserve.
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with welcome drinks and a buffet breakfast at the luxurious lodge, setting the tone for a day filled with adventure and relaxation. Fuelled and ready, you’ll then hop aboard a traditional 4×4 safari vehicle for a 2-3 hour guided game drive through the expansive 10,000-hectare reserve.
Led by experienced game rangers and field guides, the safari offers an unparalleled opportunity to witness the Big 5 – lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo, in their natural habitat. Beyond the Big Five, the reserve is teeming with giraffes, zebras, antelope and an array of birdlife. Each moment offers a chance to capture stunning wildlife photos and learn fascinating facts about the Klein Karoo’s unique ecosystem.
After the game drive, unwind back at the lodge with some well-deserved leisure time. Whether you choose to cool off in the infinity pool, enjoy the panoramic views of the reserve, the lodge offers a perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. A delicious buffet lunch will be served, allowing you to indulge in some delicious food while soaking in the surrounding beauty.
The day concludes with a return journey to Cape Town, with memories of breathtaking wildlife encounters and the serenity of the Karoo’s landscapes.
