Alive Survival

The Baviaanskloof Komdomo gate is a scenic 120km drive from Port Elizabeth through Hankey and Patensie and is suitable for sedan vehicles. Baviaanskloof (Valley of the Baboons) is one of eight protected areas of the Cape Floristic Region and boasts World Heritage Site status. Seven of South Africa’s eight biomes (major natural regions) are represented here - fynbos, forest, grassland, succulent Karoo, nama-karoo, sub-tropical thicket and savanna. Amongst an abundant wildlife the reserve boasts three of the big five namely black rhino, Cape buffalo and the Cape leopard.

We also run day courses from The Island Reserve which is near the Seaview Lion Park. The Reserve comprises 480 ha of indigenous Alexandria coastal forest and boasts tree species such as Outeniqua yellow-wood, white and hard pear as well as white milkwood. Fauna include small blue duiker, bushbuck, vervet monkey and bush pigs. More than fifty species of birds have been recorded, amongst them the Knysna lourie. It's a safe reserve with beautiful bush and bird life. It's a beautiful and safe place for the kids to have good, clean fun away from the gadgets of modern life.
