Garden Route & Big Five

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Discover South Africa's most important highlights on this comfortable tour – and without any risk of malaria. Experience Africa's wild animal world in a private Big Five game reserve in the beautiful Waterberg Mountains. The Garden Route captivates with dense forests, branching lagoons, and endless beaches. Breathtaking landscapes await you along Route 62 in the Little Karoo semi-desert. You can even watch whales seasonally near Hermanus. Enjoy fine wines and good food in the wine regions. Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope are among the most beautiful cities in the world.

You don't want to drive yourself, but a small group tour doesn't have the right start date for you and a privately guided tour is too expensive? Then our English-speaking chauffeur-driven tours are just the right alternative. Your private chauffeur will take you from place to place, where you will then take part in guided day activities and excursions. However, you do not have the all-round support of a continuous tour guide. All chauffeur-driven tours can start daily and can be adapted to your wishes in advance. The more people take part in your own chauffeur-driven tour, the lower the price per person.

In the malaria-free Waterberg region lies the 22000ha Entabeni Safari Conservancy, which is home to the Big Five as well as many other wild animals. The region impresses with its unique landscapes and varied nature. Mountains, gorges, steppes and lakes offer a reflection of many original African areas in a small space. The Waterberg region is still considered an insider tip in South Africa. The special thing about Entabeni is the division into a high plateau (Upper Escarpment) and a low plateau (Lower Escarpment), which cannot be found in any other game reserve in South Africa.

The Honeyguide Ranger Camp is a comfortable, rustic tented camp located in the Lower Escarpment of the reserve. The 15 freestanding tent suites feature a bathroom/toilet, a fan, a mosquito net, a safe, and a private veranda with seating. The Standard Tents are approximately 23 square meters in size.
