Sanbona Wildlife Reserve has launched a new boat safari experience.

 

Guests will be taken on a water safari on the Bellair Dam in the middle of the vast reserve, to reach what has been, up to now, uncharted territory and present guests with a new experience and perspective of the Big 5 wildlife, marine and birdlife.

 

The boat is named Peregrine, after the Peregrine Falcon, a bird of prey in the falcon family.

 

Due to its shallow 'V' shaped hull, the boat can navigate through even shallow waters and offer access to most areas of the dam. Guests can enjoy either an early-morning or a sunset cruise, which forms part of a game drive. The boat can accommodate 12 guests and can also be booked for exclusive use at an additional cost.

 

Afruka Eco Tours offers an amazing 3 day luxury package to this fantastic destination. Please click here to view more details of this package, or feel to enquire directly for more information.

Inverdoorn Game Reserve has once again pushed the bar in conservation, bringing the Big 5 to Cape Town’s door-step.

The rooms are spacious, the ceilings high and the original walls reassuringly thick and solid. Dating back to the late 1800's the new building has been refurbished and decorated in a sophisticated contemporary African style. The air of calmness which is immediately noticeable in the house is achieved by skilful use of play of light, sensitive use of colour, subtle texture and pattern play which is uniformly applied throughout the house.

Welcome to the launch of our brand new website. We have been in the very exciting process of developing our new website for over a year now. As you will see, it is a complete redesign. We loved the old website but we realised it was needing a bit of an update with all the changes over the years. With all the new technology available, we decided to go the whole way and build a complete new site, and at the same time design a fresh new logo. The functionality and design of the new website gives an up-to-date new look for Afruka Eco Tours. We hope you agree with us and enjoy exploring it.
