Wildlife Guided Tour

What can you expect?

Morning Wildlife Guided Tour (R350/person, and half price for children aged 12 and under)

• We meet at the Black Oystercatcher at 8h30. 
• We then take a trip through the rich landscapes of the Nuwejaars Wetlands SMA, passed wetlands and lakes. Look out for buffalo, hippo, eland, wildebeest, bontebok and Rau Quagga – not to mention smaller mammals. And if you’re a birder, you could see African Marsh Harrier, Black Harrier, Blue Cranes and loads more. 
• We’ll serve you a cup of coffee and some rusks at a lookout point.
• You’ll be taken care of by one of our accredited SMA tour guides, who will have a wealth of knowledge on the game, birds and the rich fynbos.
• The tour lasts between 2-3 hours, weather dependent.

Sunset Wildlife Tour

Sunset Wildlife Tour (R400/person, and half price for children aged 12 and under)

• We meet at the Black Oystercatcher at 5pm. 
• The tour will take you through farming landscapes, passed wetlands to Waagschaalvlei, where the hippo live. Look out for eland, wildebeest, bontebok and Rau Quagga, as well as our secretive waterbuck. There are also a host of smaller mammals living here. And for birders, you could see African Marsh Harrier, Black Harrier, Blue Crane and many more species. 
• At the lake, you’ll relax with a glass of cool-climate wine (from wineries who are members of the Nuwejaars Wetlands SMA).
• (Bear in mind that while the hippo are generally quite active in the evenings, the weather may prevent them from showing themselves – and there is always the chance they’ll stay hidden during your trip.)
• You’ll be taken care of by our accredited SMA tour guides, and will have access to the hidden-away wetlands rich in plant- and bird life.
• The tour lasts around 2 hours, but is weather dependent.
