The reserve will be introducing horseback safaris, offering an up-close encounter with wildlife along its 7 km stretch of private beach and protected sanctuary. Visitors can ride through coastal dunes, spotting giraffes, zebras and antelope while enjoying the natural rhythm of the Eastern Cape.
The horseback safaris cater to riders of all levels, with calm, well-trained horses ensuring a safe and enjoyable ride. The experience combines adventure with tranquility, offering a unique perspective on the region’s wildlife that traditional game drives cannot replicate.
More activities for every guest
Beyond horseback riding, Oceana offers a variety of activities for all tastes. Guests can embark on guided game drives, spotting local species from the comfort of a 4×4 vehicle. Beach lovers can enjoy long walks, surf fishing and seasonal whale watching, while those seeking relaxation can unwind at the reserve’s spa or take a dip in the Africa-shaped rock pool. For bird enthusiasts, the reserve’s diverse habitats provide excellent opportunities for birdwatching.
Comfortable stays and culinary delights
Oceana’s accommodations range from Lodge Suites and Ocean Suites to a private Ocean House, all designed for comfort and privacy. Dining is equally impressive, with the main lodge’s Great Room and pub serving gourmet meals made from fresh, local ingredients.
Explore the surrounding area
The surrounding area adds even more to the experience. Port Alfred, known as the “Jewel of the Sunshine Coast,” offers Blue Flag beaches and water sports. Bathurst is home to South Africa’s oldest pub and charming galleries. Cultural enthusiasts can drive to Grahamstown to explore its historic streets.
