Inverdoorn Big 5 Safaris

Big5 Experience in a 5 star Game Reserve at 2.5 hours from Cape Town

Inverdoorn Game Reserve stretches across 10 000 ha of prime Klein Karoo scrubland and is home to the largest, growing cache of wild, free-roaming animals in the region. Inverdoorn is a Big 5 game reserve with a special interest in cheetah conservation. Since 2001 their organisation, the Western Cape Cheetah Conservation, has been rescuing these magnificent cats and today provides sanctuary to 14 cheetahs.

The game reserve offers day and overnight packages that include a three-hour long safari game drive tracking buck, giraffe, zebra, lion, rhino and several other species across an area the size of 5360 football fields side by side.

Given the vast area that is traversed and the unpredictable nature of the animals, it is not always possible to locate all the animals; but the skilled rangers know just where to look for them and will do their best to track them down.

Day Safari Package

lionCape Barbary LionIf you're pressed for time, a day trip to Inverdoorn is the perfect option for you. You will enjoy a jam-packed mid-morning to afternoon safari filled with the sights and sounds of the bush. You can choose to drive yourself to Inverdoorn or make use of the daily shuttle service from Cape Town to the lodge. If you drive yourself it is recommended that you arrive just before 10.00am as the safari kicks off promptly at 10.30am. Day trippers enjoy near three-hour long safari tracking herds of zebra, giraffes and buck through the scrub while dedicated rangers share anecdotes about the game reserve and its inhabitants. You will have the chance to animals such as lions, elephants and hippos before returning to the lodge for a delicious buffet lunch including delicious desserts. Lunch is served in an exquisitely manicured succulent garden beneath the shade of giant Eucalyptus tree. After a leisurely lunch that may include some surprise guests, you'll be back on the scenic road en route to Cape Town.

Overnight guests enjoy two, three-hour long safaris – a sunrise safari and a sunset safari. The animals are at their liveliest in the mornings and at dusk so you are guaranteed to see much more. To see buffalo or rhino illuminated by the rising sun on a cool Karoo morning, or a cheetah being put through its paces at their sunset training sessions is what travellers' dreams are made of. With a variety of luxury accommodation packages to choose from, you will be sure to find an option suited to your personal preference and budget. Overnight guests enjoy a buffet style three-course lunch; a five-course dinner and a wholesome breakfast also served buffet style, all inclusive.
