GAME
VIEWING
From small Nature Reserves to Large Game Parks there is no shortage

length of South Africa's eastern border with Mozambique.
The Western Cape's numerous Nature Reserves offer unique fynbos,
birdlife and generally only the smaller mammals... however in 1999
the big five were reintroduced to the Garden Route and, in small
