Johannesburg to Grootbos
After your flight from Botswana we board a commercial flight to Cape Town and transfer to the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. Over the next two days explore and experience all that this unique destination has to offer. The Reserve's 1,050-hectares are ready to be explored by foot, vehicle and horseback. Qualified conservation biologists bring the fynbos to life with their fascinating stories of the Cape Floral Kingdom, one of the world's richest regions of plant life. Nearby Walker Bay Nature Reserve has 20 kilometers of pristine coastline for you to walk, swim, explore or simply enjoy. From July until December the Southern Right Whale migrates from Antarctica into Walker Bay, and this is one of the most spectacular vantage points for whale watching in the world. Also search for cape fur seals, African penguins and countless sea birds.
