OUR TIPS:

Don't miss a Safari! The big game parks are further east in South Africa, but a days drive from Cape Town you find small Safari parks run by enthusiastic people who take in lost, smuggled and wounded animals. They take care of them, give them space to live and protect them from poachers. As a guest in their safari resorts, you get guaranteed close ups with the big 5 and support their effort to safe the animals. Try for example Aquila Safari
