Off The Beaten Track
There are many off-the-track destinations and some
wild-at-heart attractions for you to explore in Southern Africa.
Sabi Sabi - Game Reserve - Eastern Cape
The choral sounds of birds before morning light, hot 'boere'
coffee and a muffin, and you'll be ready to embrace the wildlife
of SabiSabi. Land Rovers leave before dawn, and Rangers share
information via radio, ensuring the occupants of each Land Rover
have the best chance of a wide range of sightings. The Tracker
will watch the road for spoor, leaning forward intently to find
any print left by a predator during its hunt in the dark.
Guests on guided walking trails can experience this natural
environment on foot; no two walks are ever remotely the same.
Sabi Sabi boasts approximately 350 different species of birds,
and their nests and calls are fascinating. There is an endless
diversity of trees, shrubs, and flowering plants, whatever the
time of year.
The dusk period tends to be quieter. There is a lull as the
animals sense the transition into a time of increased danger.
The nocturnal hunters start stirring, and their prey needs to be
alert for survival through the night. The Ranger will choose a
spot where you can stretch your legs and enjoy a sundowner
alongside the vehicle. If you are lucky, you may be able to
watch a lion or his pride prepare for the evening hunt. With the
help of the spotlight, a leopard's eyes may reflect back from a
tree. Other smaller predators that are often encountered at
night include the Genet, African Civet, and African Wild Cat.
Bushbabies are nocturnal primates that feed on insects and
fruits; their large eyes shine red in the light.
Each morning and evening, Safaris in open Land Rovers drive
through a wide variety of habitats, allowing you to view the
vast interactions of the wild. After breakfast, the dedicated,
skilled, and passionate Rangers lead you to discover miracles of
Nature you may never have dreamed existed.

Butterfly World - Paarl - Western Cape
Butterfly World is the largest butterfly park in South Africa.
The location of this park is set conveniently at the junction of
the main Wine Routes of Stellenbosch and Paarl, on the Route 44
near Klapmuts, just off the N1.
Butterflies fly freely in an exotic indoor garden. Tropical
plants abound and there are butterfly-friendly birds and water
features that complete this idyllic picture. Enjoy a cup of
coffee at the Schmetterling Coffee Garden and have a browse in
the craft shop. You can photograph or video these beautiful
creatures to your hearts content.

trading hours are 9am to 5pm (except June, July and August) when

About the author:
If you're looking for a wild-at-heart experience, look no
further than the Sabi Sabi
Game Reserve. The advantage of the Sabi Sabi Safaris stems
from the fact that animals on the Reserve have not been hunted
for over half a century. Because they have become habituated,
they perceive the outline of a vehicle carrying humans as
non-threatening.
