Your Adventure Begins

Highlights of Cape Town:

3 Nights in Timbavati Game Reserve


South Africas Safari Reserve

Nestled within the fenceless confines of the Greater Kruger National Park is one of Africa’s legendary reserves, the Timbavati Game Reserve. The protected areas of Kruger National Park is home to the largest concentration of free roaming mammals in Africa and because of the fenceless boundaries, many animals, including the Big Five, visit the Timbavati Game Reserve with ease. Wildlife is prolific, boasting more than 40 species of land mammals, 360 species of birds, 79 species of reptiles, 85 plant species and 49 species of fish; the Timbavati Game Reserve is a conservation sanctuary.

Although the landscape is abundant in African wildlife, the Timbavati Game Reserve has another major drawing card within the confines of the protected land. The world renowned White Lion of Timbavati wanders throughout the game reserve and visitors flock from across the world to get a glimpse of this majestic animal in its natural habitat. It is this land that roots the ancestral tree from which the world’s population of White Lion grew.

With the prolific wildlife of Kruger National Park roaming throughout the entire unfenced landscape, we at GreenLife Africa are quite certain that you will be able to marvel over at least four of Africa’s Big Five, depending on the duration of your stay of course.

3 Nights in the Overberg


A whale watching mecca

Caressed by both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, eastward from the rage of Cape Town City and southward from the elegance of Cape Winelands, you will find the lush hills and valleys of the Overberg. The region is a rural sanctum of natural diversity; distant mountains, abundant in bird life, abundant varieties of plant and animal species, and of course, gorgeous sun kissed sandy shores. Scattered within the confines of the Overberg are many quaint towns and fishing villages, each with their own hidden jewels just waiting to be discovered by you.

The most well known among these towns is Hermanus; famously known as Africa’s best land-based vantage point to view the magnificent southern right whale. The giant marine dwellers grace the coastal waters of the Overberg to breed and calve from June to November each year. The cliffs around Hermanus form excellent vantage points where you will get a chance to see these gigantic creatures sailing through and breaching the surface of the water, or creating major splashes as they lobtail and spyhop along the coast. The Overberg and its many towns are ideal to get away from the craze of city life and revitalize while enjoy the calming landscapes and coastal treasures.

  • "Greenlife Safaris has helped us plan three life changing trips through Southern Africa. What sets them apart is that they were by our side, just a call away and helped us with a few things like when we blew out 2 tires on the rental car out in the bush and when we left some valuables in a hotel safe."
