Safari Experiences
West Coast Safari
At West Coast Safaris we use quality game drive vehicles (no mass tourism in trucks) and employ qualified guides to ensure you get the most out of your safari experience. The Reserve is home to a wide variety of wildlife suited to the West Coast habitat. The land dictates our wildlife numbers and we encourage our guests to understand the West Coast habitat is not Kruger and wildlife sightings are less bountiful. The Reserve boasts a wealth of the special plants and flowers the West Coast is famous for, which are an integral part of your safari experience.
