Meerkats!!!! - We chose the bush safari as we wanted to see the animals living in the wild (although it’s a game reserve, but the guys really take care of them all and doing a great job). Views are out of this world! Our guide explained to us everything about the wild animals living on the estate, which was really insightful. It was raining, and it was cold, but we managed to see even meerkats. Usually they go out of their holes early in the morning to soak up the sun, but since the weather was bad, they got out while we were there! Amazing!!! Such a bonus!

Bush Safari . lots of animals in natural habitat - OK, it wasn't Kruger, it is a small, private reserve 1/20 the size.
It does make a huge effort to home a lot of endangered animals and for that it is wonderful.
There is not a zoo feel to the bush safari, as you see animals grazing in their natural habitat. The animals are cared for and happy.
Half way through the adventure, they pull over and we got out of the jeep and were treated to water, ice tea, and beer.
Very informative and a lot of fun.

Fantastic time on game drive - A group of 4,2 couples, went on the afternoon game drive and it didn’t disappoint. With a knowledgeable guide - Katherine - who drove us we saw springboks, giraffes, Cape buffalo, rhino, meerkat, Nyala , grey roebuck and a glims of eland. The two hours flew by and the blankets came in handy as the wind was quite bitter. The views were stunning. Would highly recommend if you are in the Oudtshoorn area.
