Solole Game Reserve

It's hardly Kruger National Park, but there's much to recommend in this game reserve, which covers 350 hectares on the way to Kommetjie, not least the cheeky irreverence. For example, a 45-minute game drive costs around R30 unless you're an 'ill-disciplined brat' and then its around R5000! Kids both big and small will enjoy riding up the mountainside in an open cart tugged by a giant tractor.

You'll view nine different species of buck, buffalo and the lone black rhino, Mokwena, the first to be returned to the Cape in several centuries. Guided walks (around R90) are also available, or you can game spot for free at the hide by the excellent restaurant Mnandis. The package of game tour, lunch and township tour (across the road at Masiphumelele) is good value at R200.
