Who would like to connect his stay at Little Paradise with a visit of a Game Reserve should visit the Aquila Game Reserve. After a 3 hour-scenic drive into the small Karoo you can see lions, giraffes, hippopotami and zebras in 'free' hunting ground. The public Bontebok National Park close to Swellendam is much cheaper but not so interesting as the Aquila Game Reserve. The Addo Elephant Park near port Elisabeth could represent the last stage of a journey along the Garden Route. The three mentioned parks have the advantage that they are malaria-free and thus you can renounce a prophylaxis opposite the world-known Krueger National Park. Furthermore they are not by far so overrun. |
