Day Visitors

A Day in the African Wild

Open Landrover game drives, sundowner stops and an à la carte lunch overlooking the reserve.

The malaria-free Garden Route Game Lodge offers Day Visitors a chance to experience some of Africa's wildlife as they journey down the Garden Route. Enjoy a thrilling game drive in an open Landrover with your experienced game ranger who will bring you sightings of lion, elephant, white rhino, buffalo and cheetah.

Garden Route Game Lodge is also home to giraffes, zebra and numerous antelope species such as bontebok, red hartebeest, kudu, eland, impala, springbuck and many more.

Game drives take between 2 and 3 hours depending on how much time is spent at each sighting. There will be a refreshment stop during your game drive at the selected lookout points on the reserve.

Complete your day visit with a relaxing lunch on the wooden deck of our stunning Serengeti's Restaurant. Savour one of our famous traditional South African dishes from our à la carte menu and a refreshing drink as you reflect on the day's activity.

Day Visitor game drives depart daily at 11am, Monday to Sunday. Entrance to our game reserve is free. À la carte lunch menu available — lunch is optional after the game drive. Bookings essential.
