Kragga Kamma Game Drive and Coastal Tour: Port Elizabeth Wildlife

Watch White Rhino, Cheetah and Buffalo roam freely, then drive the Port Elizabeth coast

A guided tour combining a game drive through Kragga Kamma Game Park (home to three of the Big Five and animals including White Rhino, Buffalo, Cheetah, Giraffe and Zebra) with a coastal tour along Algoa Bay and entry to Cape Recife Nature Reserve and its lighthouse. The five to six hour tour includes a professional English-speaking guide, air-conditioned vehicle, binoculars and bottled water.

Step-by-step itinerary

Game drive and coastal tour

• Tour Kragga Kamma Game Park
• Drive along Algoa Bay coastline
• Visit lighthouse with entrance included

The experience

The day splits into two parts: a game drive through Kragga Kamma Game Park just outside Port Elizabeth, where animals roam freely in their natural habitat, then a guided coastal run along Algoa Bay that takes in Cape Recife Nature Reserve and the lighthouse. The park holds three of the Big Five alongside Giraffe, Zebra, Nyala and Bontebok, each one moving undisturbed through the diverse ecosystem. You watch from an air-conditioned vehicle with binoculars provided, so distance and glare are not obstacles.

The coastal portion follows the shoreline of Port Elizabeth, moving at a pace that lets you absorb the marine life and landscape. Lighthouse entry is included, so you walk inside rather than viewing it from the road. A professional guide narrates both sections in English, and bottled water travels with you. The full outing runs five to six hours from start to finish.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 17 years); Infant (under 3): free.

What animals will I actually see at Kragga Kamma Game Park?

Kragga Kamma holds three of the Big Five (Buffalo, Cheetah and White Rhino) plus Giraffe, Zebra, Nyala and Bontebok roaming freely in their natural habitat. The park's diverse ecosystem means sightings are not guaranteed on any single visit, but the guide knows where animals tend to move.

Is lunch included in the five to six hour tour?

Lunch is not part of this tour. Bottled water is provided, and the coastal section takes in the Port Elizabeth shoreline, but you'll want to plan a meal separately if the timing matters to your day.

Do I need to arrange my own transport to the tour?

Pickup is included, and you travel in an air-conditioned vehicle with the guide and other guests. The vehicle also carries binoculars for the game drive portion.

What happens at the lighthouse on the coastal tour?

Cape Recife Lighthouse entry is included in the tour. You walk inside the lighthouse rather than viewing it from outside, and the guide explains the site as part of the coastal section along Algoa Bay.
