Africa's southernmost tip
Inside-park stays and nearby lodges, sorted by distance.
Inside parkAgulhas Rest Camp sits at the southernmost tip of the African continent, within Agulhas National Park, where the warm Indian Ocean and the cold Atlantic meet. The landscape here is windswept and elemental, a low coastal plain of fynbos and limestone fringed by rocky shoreline, wetlands and one of the richest concentrations of plant species on earth. It is a place defined by big skies, distant horizons and the constant presence of the sea. The camp makes a quiet base for exploring the surrounding coast. Nearby are the historic Cape Agulhas lighthouse, the monument marking the geographic tip of Africa, and walking trails through the fynbos and along the shore. Birdlife is plentiful in the wetlands and estuaries, and the area is known for its shipwreck heritage. Accommodation is comfortable and unpretentious, suited to travellers who want to slow down, walk the coastline and watch the weather roll in off two oceans.
Manyoni Private Game Reserve is one of the largest privately-owned reserves in Kwazulu-Natal. This 23,000-hectare reserve is the product of 17 dedicated landowners who dropped their fences in 2004 to create one contiguous protected area for our wildlife. The selection of the area as a potential release site for the WWF Black Rhino Range Expansion Project was a major driving factor in the establishment of Manyoni. In 2005, the newly established reserve was confirmed as a release site by the WWF and a founder population of black rhino were released into their new home.
