Enjoy guided 4x4 drives at two private reserves and the chance to see orphaned elephants roaming freely (optional extra with cost). Overnight in Oudtshoorn about five hours drive from Cape Town. Accommodation is subject to the option selected during booking: Budget option stay at Uthando Hostel, or Comfort guesthouse option stay at 88 Baron van Reede, or Luxury option stay at Buffelsdrift.
