Cape Vidal - Snorkeling & Beach BBQ

OVERVIEW

Observe iconic African wildlife while driving through the iSimangaliso Wetland Park and then enjoy the beach and a barbecue at Cape Vidal. The adventure will begin at the Bhangazi gate entrance to the wetlands park, where you will hop into an off-road vehicle and drive into South Africa’s first UNESCO World Heritage site. Countless birds and mammals such as zebra, wildebeest, kudu and nyala antelopes thrive in the bush, and you are sure to spot many of them from the open-top vehicle. After pausing at scenic Mission Rocks, which is named for the mission that a 19th-century Norwegian reverend that built there, you will continue on to the lengthy stretch of sand that rims the cape’s eastern shore. A lunch of grilled BBQ known as a braai will be served beachside.
