- View Dunefields from Pearson Park
- Massage

Day 2

You’ll enter the Addo Elephant National Park at the Southern Entrance in Colchester. At a leisurely pace you can be your own guide and try and spot the Big 5. Alternatively you can book yourself onto a guided game drive in the park. You’ll spend the evening at the Aardvark guesthouse

   

Day 3 and 4

You’ll have the chance to travel 250 million years back in time at Ganora Guesthouse! This oasis in the desert is a working sheep farm where you can see San Rock art as well as fossils. If you like hiking you might want to give the Gorge walk a try.

Day 5

After a sumptuous breakfast you’ll depart for Sibuya Game Reserve. Be ready to meet the “Big 4” (Elephant, Buffalo, Rhino and Leopard). Sibuya is situated in the pristine Kariega River Valley and only accessable by boat. This means you’ll start of with a stunning river cruise over the Kariega River. You’ll be sleeping in a tent tonight but a luxurious one at that, with a private bathroom!

   

Day 6 and 7

After the early morning game drive and breakfast you shall leave the reserve and move on to the Oysterbox Guesthouse. This is the ideal environment to let all impressions from yesterday and the rest of the week pass in review while you create another.
