| Addo, Shamwari and Eastern Cape Safari's |
The Eastern Cape offers a good selection of 'big five' safari lodges in the Addo Elephant Park and at fabulous Private Game Lodges like Shamwari and River Bend. The region is malaria free which makes it attractive to both families and couples wanting to avoid this potential risk.
Easily accessible from Cape Town, Johannesburg and Durban, the Eastern Cape lends itself to becoming one of South Africa's most popular safari destination. Most of the reserves are located within a 1 - 2 hour drive from Port Elizabeth airport so travelling time is minimal. You can have breakfast in your guest house in Cape Town and by that afternoon be sitting in a game reserve sipping cocktails!
We can recommend at least 2 nights in any game reserve, with 3 nights being an ideal stay. Most reserves are family friendly, making this region even more popular. Our 11 night Cape Town and Garden Route itinerary is popular with families, or if you have less time, then our 7 night Garden Route Blitz itinerary would be perfect for you.
You can also view our itinerary ideas page for more options on how to include a safari in the Eastern Cape into your South African holiday. Or just email us with your wish list and we will do the rest.
We have included our favourite Eastern Cape safari lodges below, however we realise that everyone has personal preferences, so why not email us or give us a call on 0207 112 0019 (UK) or contact our South African office on +27 (0)21 843 3362 and we can recommend the perfect lodge for your South Africa safari as we have many more on our database.
