Game viewing at Lake Eland Game Reserve is part of the Oribi experience, and you only have a to go a few km from the farm to enjoy it. See blesbuck, red hartebeest, kudu, impala, blue wildebeest and zebra. Keep your eyes peeled for reedbuck, bushbuck, blue and grey duiker, oribi, cerval cat, giraffe and lynx too. Other nearby activities include hikes in the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve.

Once you've checked in at Oribi Gorge Guest Farm you'll be able to make daytrips to Port Shepstone, Shelly Beach and the rest of the coastal beach communities (see our map page). The nice thing is that no matter where you go you'll never be very far from your home on the farm.
