Safaris in South Africa

“Diversity” is probably the most accurate image one could give to the Eastern Cape region. It is as diverse in flora and fauna as it is in cultural and political history.  Nelson Mandela has his home here, and from the coastal cities to the rural inland areas, the Eastern Cape is famous for its natural beauty and friendly people.As well as enjoying the tranquil and malaria-free game viewing at our lodge, you can explore the golden beaches, magnificent marine life and sub-tropical forests of the Eastern Cape. No vaccination or shots required; consult your physician and www.cdc.gov for recommended shots (such as tetanus and hepatitis).It is from here your hunting adventure will begin. We have, within very short distances, very diverse habitats that support many species that can be hunted. The terrain ranges from coastal bushveld to mountainous terrain, depending on the species to be hunted.

3 types of safaris at your disposal. Safari for All from most of our camps:this is an ideal way to discover hunting in Africa. Exceptional good value for money. A la Carte Safari based on daily rate and separate trophy fees. Superb lodge offering great quality and comfort. A grand safari with all the freedom you want .  Grand Safari Deluxe ***** a world class luxury lodge bordering the Indian Ocean with 7km of private beach, gourmet cuisine, photographic safari, SPA treatment … Grand Safari also offers tourism extensions in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana.
