Big 5 Safari, Cape Town
Big 5 Safari experiences in Cape Town can be found in private game reserves and wilderness areas a couple of hours drive from Simonstown Guest House – offering exquisite game viewing opportunities.
The Big 5 which South Africa is known for includes Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo and Leopard. Most of the Wilderness areas in and around the Cape Peninsula are focused on the unique flora of the region as well as small mammals, primates and antelope – but for the Big 5 you will have to travel a little further afield.
Aquila Private Game Reserve is just 2 hours from Cape Town, Garden Route Game Lodge and Sanbona Wildlife Reserve are all within a day’s drive from Simonstown Guest House. These 3 reserves offer the traditional Big 5 Safari experience with game drives, guided walks and educational talks on the animals and the environment which they occur in. Simonstown Guest House has all the information on these reserves and more for you to peruse on your stay with us.
