The Eastern Cape is a relatively new kid on the safari block, ideally located for those keen on exploring the Garden Route. This is also a malaria-free area, making it perfect for families with children. With Addo Elephant National Park and stunning private game reserves such as Kwandwe, Shamwari and Amakhala offering exquisite luxury accommodation, award-winning conservation efforts and close encounters with the Big Five, a safari here works best for those wishing to spend their entire time in South Africa along its Cape provinces.
