Garden Route Safaris

Along the south coast of South Africa lies the Garden Route, boasting some of the country’s most exquisite coastline and several Garden Route Safari destinations. The long stretch of coastline is known for its picturesque beaches, lagoons, and coves as well as indigenous forests, extraordinary flora, and majestic mountain ranges. The game reserves along the Garden Route are found nestled on the foot of the Langeberg and the Outeniqua mountain ranges and offer magnificent views and wildlife. Garden Route safaris take place on game reserves which are not as populated as those of the Kruger National Park or Eastern Cape. Although these game reserves are not as populated, Garden Route safaris still offer a unique setting and fantastic Big 5 safari experiences including walking safaris and horseback safaris. Hiking, mountain biking, and picnics in the bush can also be enjoyed as part of your safari experience.

Garden Route safari lodges include a range of luxurious 4- and 5-star options with the opportunity at Gondwana Tented Camp to embark on a unique hands-on safari conservation experience. The 3, or 5-day conservation programs allow guests to submerge themselves in the wild at the eco-friendly, solar-powered tented camp for an authentic safari encounter. The Garden Routes 300-kilometre (190-mile) stretch of beautiful coastline and mountain ranges is a hub of exciting adventure activities. Combined with breath-taking Big 5 sightings and the malaria-free area, Garden Route safaris provides the perfect setting for families, honeymooners, solo travellers, and adventurists.
