About
Our safari offering is authentic and small scale. We operate 9 seater land cruisers instead of the 20+ safari trucks used by most safari operators near Cape Town.
We ensure we only have qualified guides that can create an immersive experience, not only about animals, but also about plant-life and the cultural heritage of the San people along the west coast.
We embrace the fact we are not the Kruger, and pride ourselves in our beautiful varied coastal landscape and only have indigenous wildlife that can thrive in this ecosystem.

Once everyone is ready, your guide will give you a briefing on what to expect, and you will set off on a 5 min drive to the Game Reserve Gate. During the game drive you will have a chance to see Giraffe, Zebra, Wildebeest, Eland, Kudu, Hartebeest, Springbok, Impala, Waterbuck and Ostrich as well as a number of smaller critters indigenous to the West Coast. About halfway through your 2.5-3 hour safari, you will have a coffee/tea break, usually near the salt pans, and have a chance to stretch your legs and for kids to have a run-around on the pans. After about 2.5 hours you will head back to the padstal, where you will say your goodbyes to your guide.

Andre was a truly amazing guide who took us on a nice trip at the West Coast Safari Park. Andre is calm and makes you feel at eaze from the first moment you meet him. He drives carefully and he has a lot of nice stories to tell about all the animals we saw and answered all the questions we had.
He really made an effort trying to get in real close with a lot of the animals and he made us a nice pickinck at a beautiful site where we could walk amongst Girafs and Zebras.
We only booked for half a day but could easily have done an entire day if we had known upfront.
It was an amazing experience which completed our 12-day visit to Capetown.
We definately recommend anyone to book this great safari.

The team at West Coast Safaris took us on an incredible game drive - we saw herds of Eland, Springbok, and Zebra. Giraffe with their young, Scrub Hare, Wildebeest and learnt all about the areas flora from Andre their experienced local San/Bushman Safari guide. It’s excellent for families as we had kids with us for a birthday. There was even an opportunity for us to get out and do a short walking safari to focus on some of the smaller things in the bush. The perfect tea stop at a salt pan to admire the surrounding area and enjoy some biltong, rusks and a selection of tea, coffee and rusks. Seamless and convenient pick up at Weskus Padstal which is a great place to enjoy a meal after the safari or get some farm fresh bread.

Just under an hour north of Cape Town, the safari drive offers a unique experience, especially suited for families and kids. We have seen loads of springboks, ostriches, zebras, giraffes and many more. Truly a must do if you want to see animals close to Cape Town. It is an amazing opportunity to do a hassle-free, easy to reach and well-organized safari!

Thanks so much for your review. We love being able to share the reserve's nature and animals with young families. The 1 hr drive from Cape Town, and being able to get out the car and walk around, makes it very manageable for little people.
