“3-day adventure from Cape Town exploring the West Coast: wildlife safari, charming Paternoster fishing village, seafood, and dramatic coastline.
About This Experience
Discover the untouched beauty of South Africa's West Coast on this 3-day getaway. Drive north from Cape Town through the West Coast National Park — home to springbok, eland, and flocks of flamingos in the Langebaan Lagoon. Check into a boutique guesthouse in the whitewashed fishing village of Paternoster, famous for its crayfish braais, art galleries, and spectacular sunsets. Enjoy a morning guided game drive at a nearby reserve, explore the Columbine Nature Reserve lighthouse, and kayak in the crystal-clear waters of Saldanha Bay. Fresh seafood dinners at beachfront restaurants round out this laid-back coastal escape.
