Highlights
Go wild in the Western Cape on this Oudtshoorn overnight safari trip from Cape Town. Travel off the beaten track to get to see South Africa's wildlife and immerse yourself in nature. Visit Botlierskop Reserve - at Mossel Bay, the start of the coastal Garden Route region and Buffelsdrift in the heart of the Klein Karoo region - offering the perfect backdrop for an African wildlife experience.
This trip offers guided 4x4 drives at two private game reserves; as well as a chance to observe orphaned elephants roaming freely in nature (optional activity with extra costs). You'll overnight at the ostrich capital of the world about 5 hours driving from Cape Town.
This tour is led by a local qualified tour guide and game rangers during safaris. This introduction tour is ideal for anyone that visits the Western Cape region and have limited time to see wildlife and most of the Big 5 in natural game reserve settings.

The first wildlife reserve is about 450 km away from Cape Town ( about 6 hours away - subject to additional rest stops in between). Spot some of Africa’s Big 5 wild animals from the back of an open 4x4 vehicle at Botlierskop, a malaria-free private game reserve near Mossel Bay. Search for giraffe, white rhino, kudu, lion, elephant, zebra, wildebeest, to name a few. This safari-focused 2 day tour gives you unforgettable opportunities to experience some of Africa’s wildlife in their natural habitat. The trip is fast paced, including transportation in an air-conditioned mini coach van, accommodation and two guided 4x4 drives with an expert ranger at your side on safaris.Oudtshoorn
