The Western Cape offers a wonderful experience for visitors; one can now enjoy a real Cape Safari 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 game farm is lush, with rocky outcrops, spectacular rock formations and patches of dense vegetation.  Apart from the rich variety of game, one or the reserve's most unique features is the very rare Black Impala, one of the only two reserves in the world boasting these beautiful animals.  Another wonderful feature is the White Rhino, although for many the Lions and Elephants are the highlight.

On the exhilirating three-hour game drive, visitors can enjoy close encounters with these amazing wild animals as well as Buffalo , Wildebeest, Sable, Waterbuck, Giraffe, Eland, Kudu, Bontebok, Nyala, Bushbuck , Impala, Mountain Zebra, etc.  With a wide variety of bird species, including wetland birds, it is also a birdwatcher's paradise.

A wonderful and unique wildlife experience!
