This incredible landscape sets the stage for safari adventures and allows you to experience South Africa's diverse beauty up close. The area is also known for its unique flora, acacia forests, and many other forms of vegetation, which together create a breathtaking sight and a unique experience for nature lovers.
Activities and Services Included in a Luxury Safari
A luxury safari in Eastern Cape (and at Side by Side Safaris) goes far beyond the traditional safari experience by offering a range of exclusive and customized activities to cater to each guest's interests and needs. These can include morning and evening safari rides to experience the animals up close; hiking opportunities allowing you to explore the unique flora and landscape on your own; and bird tours where you can observe some of the region's impressive variety of bird species. Further luxuries such as golf, wine tasting at some of South Africa's most prestigious vineyards, and gastronomical experiences at your lodge ensure your safari becomes an unforgettable journey.
Necessary Preparations Before the Journey
Going on a luxury safari in Eastern Cape requires some preparation. It's important to ensure that you have appropriate health insurance and that you investigate any vaccinations you might need, depending on the season. Eastern Cape is a malaria-free area, so you don't have to worry about that. Moreover, you must have your passport and a potential visa in order to visit South Africa.
Important Items to Pack
For a successful safari in Eastern Cape, it's essential to remember to pack the right clothing and equipment. Comfortable, durable, and practical clothing is key, and we recommend selecting layers suitable for the weather and desert safari. Don't forget sunscreen and sunglasses. A camera with a good zoom, binoculars, and rechargeable batteries are also crucial elements to capture memories of your unforgettable luxury safari.
