The Western Cape is known for its stunning views and abundant greenery. The Garden Route Coast is a legendary stretch for tourists and locals looking to explore the majestic scenery. The popularity of safari stays and wildlife trips have led to many game lodges popping up around the most scenic places in the country, but none as incredibly all-encompassing as Garden Route Game Lodge.

With views that rival one of Drake's cult classic albums, Garden Route Game Lodge is positioned perfectly against the Langeberg mountain range. This mountainous region casts the most breathtaking sunrise and sunset shadows across the decks of the lodge. Expect to travel a mere 3 ½ hours from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town before you reach this slice of Eden.
You can also stop at the Alcare Aloe factory store to stock up on some skincare essentials for your safari stay. Located in the small town of Albertinia, it's a hit with locals and tourists alike.

Need something that gets the adrenalin flowing? Mountain biking enthusiasts are in for a treat with the newly launched trail that lets riders explore the reserve and get up and close and personal with some of the tamer animals. Picture riding alongside giraffes and antelope while winding down the paths to witness the stillness of the Gouritz river. The trail is of medium difficulty level and riders are encouraged to bring their own mountain bikes as the Garden Route Game Lodge currently doesn't offer rentals.
The Ayana Spa has two treatment rooms where you will receive the most soothing experiences from full body massages to anti-ageing facials. Personalised spa day packages and kid treatments are also on offer. Ayana Spa is open from 8 am-5 pm from Monday-Sunday.
