Description

The only one of its kind, a land-based Cape Recife Marine Safari is the perfect way to end a stay in Port Elizabeth /Gqeberha. Pristine, wild and elemental, this section of the sweeping Eastern Cape coastline brings guests close to whales year-round, while the area is known as the bottlenose dolphin capital of the world. Birding here is renowned and a number of ocean, bush, coastal and pelagic bird species may be spotted. The area is a botanical hotspot where an enormous diversity of flora is protected. Our knowledgeable guides, in game viewer vehicles equipped with the correct equipment, are ready to delight and enrich you with experiences that you will never forget, in a part of Africa where time has stood still. With its mild, malaria-free climate, Cape Recife is the ideal place for a last sunset with cocktails and a late evening walk on the beach as you round off a memorable visit to this beautiful part of our country.

This is the best

This has been the best experience of our holiday and holidays to come I’m sure. Lin-mare made the booking warm and personal, and she came to meet us. Annelise and Ashwin were super hosts. Loved to night tour up the lighthouse. Food from Simon was excellent. And sitting looking out to sea with the dolphins, I thought I had died and gone to heaven. Adore the decor. Thank you so much . A stay to remember.

Little piece of paradise

Amazing view, lovely beach walks. If you are as lucky as we were you might see a few dolphins. Great braai area, everything you need is there. I would 100% recommend the lighthouse for a weekend get away. 10/10!

We had the best stay at the Lighthouse!

I had the most amazing time at the lighthouse! The accommodation was super clean, cozy, and had a stylish touch that made it feel like a home away from home. Having a braai inside with the best view made the experience even better. The view was simply breathtaking and easily my favourite part of the whole trip. I would love to go back and do it all over again! 🏖️🌅

Lighthouse Cape Receif Safari

So awesome to experience this Safari with a knowledgeable nature loving guide, Roger. The best part, except for the HISTORY and BEAUTIFUL view on top was to hear about the intelligent plan to use sewerage water for plant growth, which establish the dunes. All & all very knowledgeable. Cold wind. Dress warm.

Amazing experience!

What a beautiful part of the country. The flora is incredibly diverse and stunning alongside the ocean. I definitely recommend it for photographers as it makes a ideal sunset shot. As a keen birder It was nice to walk alongside the ocean spotting new birds to my life-list. The African Oystercatchers was my favourite ! The ultimate highlight was to be close to my first ever lighthouse. The guide was also very knowledgeable and entertaining. I had an amazing time there and would definitely recommend it to anyone especially someone keen for some adventure
