Eastern Cape Game Reserves
The game reserves of the Eastern Cape have much to recommend them, not least their proximity to the Garden Route and the lack of malaria. But perhaps one of their greatest draws is the chance to see the ‘Big Five’. From the rich biodiversity and luxurious lodges of the Kwandwe Private Game Reserve to the clear night skies of Kichaka, this is diverse and rewarding safari destination.
