Who Is This Adventure Perfect For?
This tour brings together two very different sides of the Western Cape. The morning is filled with energy and adventure as you ride across the striking white dunes of Atlantis. The afternoon offers a slower but equally exciting experience as you search for wildlife within the peaceful surroundings of a private game reserve.
Combining these activities independently would require separate reservations, transport arrangements and meeting points. This carefully planned experience connects them in one seamless itinerary, giving you more time to enjoy the day while Breathless Nomad manages the logistics.
It is an excellent option for international visitors, couples, families and small groups wanting to experience both outdoor adventure and African wildlife without travelling far from Cape Town.
Buffelsfontein Game and Nature Reserve offers one of the Western Cape’s most accessible wildlife experiences. Situated around an hour from Cape Town, the family-owned reserve spans approximately 1,600 hectares and is home to an impressive variety of African animals.
The reserve is home to lion, buffalo, rhino and leopard, along with cheetah, giraffe, zebra, kudu, eland, oryx, blue wildebeest, mountain reedbuck and red hartebeest. Its open landscapes and peaceful setting make it an ideal destination for guests wanting to enjoy a safari experience while staying close to Cape Town.
Although wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, every game drive offers the opportunity to appreciate the reserve’s natural beauty and encounter animals in a spacious protected environment.
