West Coast Safari 2025

Cape Town’s closest land and sea safaris

Plus horseback rides, whale-watching, eco-boat & San cultural tours

Last updated: Thursday, 13 November 2025

Where else can you spot whales in the morning and giraffes in the afternoon? Just an hour from Cape Town, West Coast Private Game Reserve is where giraffes stoop to nibble on acacias, springboks graze by salt pans, buffalos stand proud, and the sight of the ocean shimmers in the distance (only 10 minutes from Yzerfontein beach). Extend your stay and spend the night in sustainable solar-powered private houses with hot tubs.
