Visitors to the Western Cape who would like to go on safari while visiting Cape Town or the Grarden Route have several, excellent “Big Five” wildlife reserves to choose from. All these game reserves in western cape are within a few hours of Cape Town and easily accesable. Private game reserves in the Western Cape offer guests and visitors fantastic camps and lodges of all standards. People who wish to venture a little further towards the Eastern Cape and visit the Garden Route have a number of safari options to choose from.
Many of the reserves can visited for just a day, or quick overnight visit from Cape Town. Most of the private game reserves listed below offer luxury accommodation, good restaurants, swimming pools and twice daily game drives in an open safari vehicle. The wildlife you’ll see has been trans-located from other areas further north. It’s not Kruger, but if this is your first safari, you’ll enjoy it. All the reserves are malaria free.
