Garden Route Game Lodge
This is a really great place to visit if you do not have a lot of time while in Cape Town. It is 3 hours out and has some amazing animals. You can even do a day tour with lunch if you are on your way to another part of the country. On arrival you are already getting excited as you can see the expanse ahead of you from the reception. We received a warm welcome on arrival and was very impressed with the views from the restaurant that is in the same building. The accommodation is very well placed on the hills around the main reception and all look over the watering hole. We were lucky enough to see the 2 hippos lying outside the water on the banks, this is not usual for them to do as they have very sensitive skin and stay out of the sun as much as they can. We saw a lot of animals on our game drive and even visited the reptile park which my daughter loved and wife waited outside. My daughter even got to hold some snakes which really made her day.
