What to expect

Your Safari on the West Coast Private Game Reserve, just outside Yzerfontein, will start at the West Coast Padstal. Here you will meet your guide have a quick briefing (and a toilet stop) before heading out on a 2-5 to 3 hour game drive in our 9 seater safari Land Rover.
During the game drive you will have a chance to see Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Eland, Kudu, Hartebeest, Waterbuck, Springbok, Impala, Ostrich and a range of smaller more elusive animals.
Besides the animals our guide will show you medicinal plants used by the San people. If you are lucky enough to visit between August to October you will have a chance to see the wealth of flowers the West Coast is renowned for.
About halfway through your safari, you will have a chance to stretch your legs while having a coffee/tea stop in the bush some light snacks.
The game drive will end back at the Padstal from where you will continue your journey.
