Botlierskop Private Game Reserve
We’ll travel approximately 450km to Botlierskop Game Reserve in Mosselbay . Once we arrive, you'll enjoy a 3-hour guided game drive in an open-top 4x4 vehicle. Keep an eye out for Africa’s iconic wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, and rhinos. Leopards are elusive and mainly active at night, so sightings during daytime drives are rare, as they’re not kept within fenced areas.

Oudtshoorn
After the game drive, we’ll take a short drive to Oudtshoorn, famously known as the ostrich capital of the world. Spend the evening at your leisure, soaking in the peaceful atmosphere beneath the star-filled Klein Karoo sky. If you'd like, your guide can help arrange a restaurant dinner or a traditional South African braai (barbecue), depending on availability. This is a great chance to sample local favourites like ostrich sosaties (kebabs) and potbrood (bread baked over coals). You'll overnight in Oudtshoorn according to your chosen accommodation package.
