Cape Game Reserves

Many of our guests believe that they need to fly to other regions in South Africa to enjoy a safari when they are staying in Cape Town. Over the past couple of years a number of small private game reserves have opened up close to Cape Town, many involved with massive game reintroduction projects, allowing you to now enjoy a wildlife safari within 2-4 hours drive from Cape Town. Keep in mind however; that many of these reserves are still developing and that your safari experience can range from an extraordinary encounter with elephant and white lion in the arid landscape of the Little Karoo to antelopes and rockart in the Cederberg. Contact us for further details.

Bushmanskloof Wilderness Reserve, Cederberg Conservancy

Immense open plains, deep ravines, spectacular waterfalls and prehistoric rock formations characterise this ecological oasis, nestled between the majestic mountains of the Cederberg and the vast plains of the Great Karoo. Situated 270 Kilometres north of Cape Town, this once hunting ground of the intrepid San, is home to an incredible variety of wildlife and plant species, and is a premier spring flower destination. The reserve is world renowned for its 130 rock art sites and has been declared a South African Natural Heritage site.
