4x4 Coastal Bush & Beach Safari in Pomene Reserve

Rumble through Pomene National Reserve's coastal dune forest in an open 4x4, tracking samango monkeys, bushbuck, and rare coastal birds before emerging onto a wild, white-sand beach utterly empty of footprints.

What to expect

Your open Land Cruiser departs from the port and enters the reserve via a track most visitors never find. The dune forest closes in — enormous cycads, wild date palms, and the calls of African fish eagles overhead. You stop at a clifftop viewpoint for a champagne toast over the Indian Ocean before descending to a private beach for a gourmet picnic. The return run often rewards with a hippo sighting at the estuary crossing.
