Overnight camp in a Lion Park

“Sleep with lions” – a must for animal lovers and an unforgettable once in a lifetime experience. Spend a night in specially designed safari tents amongst the 35 lions in the lion park. The park is a sanctuary for captive born lions and is involved in the re-homing of lions in distress, both locally and overseas. Traditional South African braai (BBQ) included.

Trip to Cape Point

The Cape of Good Hope, Africa’s most South-Western Point, is the point where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean and a must-see in South Africa. Stunning scenery and beaches, it is well worth the climb to the top for the most extraordinary views. We promise you’ve never been anywhere like it!

Surfing or body boarding

Botanical Gardens

Lying snugly between mountains and sea, the Harold Porter National Botanical Garden in Betty’s Bay includes sweeping mountain slopes, deep gorges, and four vegetation types - afro montane forests, wetlands, coastal dunes and fynbos.

Hiking or river kayaking

The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve, known as the Heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom and a UNESCO nature world heritage site is best explored on foot on countless stunning hiking trails or by kayak on one of its beautiful rivers. The reserve is home to the most complex biodiversity on earth, boasting 1,800 different species of plants, 77 of which don’t occur anywhere else on the planet!

Mountain biking

The Cape is cycling heaven, with beautiful vistas and challenging hills and the coastal road to Betty’s Bay has to be one of the most spectacular drives you will ever take, anywhere in the world.

Whale watching

Between May and December, the annual migration of the Southern Right Whale sees the ocean surrounding the cape becomes a teeming playground for these giant beasts of the deep. Betty’s Bay lies directly on the Overberg whale coast, a stretch of coastline which boasts the best place in the world for land-based whale watching. The whales come right close to the shore, often within 50m, and seeing them frolic about is thrilling.
