Things To Do: Plettenberg Bay
  • Tip Rating:
  • Plett is a very popular holiday destination for many South Africans, it can be very busy over the summer holidays (Xmas and New Year). I have never had a holiday here but have driven through a few times, the beaches are absolutely stunnning!

    Things To Do: Plett Elephant Sanctuary
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Elephant Santucry is about 16 km noth of Plett on the same road as Monkeyland. Definitely worth a stop. It is a little pricey at R195 for adults and R100 for kids but where else can you walk with african elephants and see them up close and personal. The emphasis is on education and the tour lasts for about 1.5 hours

  • At the start you get the opportunity to walk with the elphants into the forest, a very unique experience. My daughter wasn't too mad about having her hand covered in elephant snot though!

  • Each person is then allowed to touch the elephants and the guides show you all the different body parts and the kids get a chance to see under their feet and feel their trunk etc.

    Things To Do: Plett Monkeyand
  • Tip Rating:
  • Monkeyland lies just 16km north of Plett. They charge R100 for adults and R50 for kids. You have to go on a guided tour which is very informative.

    Things To Do: Plett Monkeyand 2
  • Tip Rating:
  • It is very well done but felt a little too much like a zoo for me. For those that have never seen monkeys in the wild and such a variety then I highly recommend it. I have been too spoilt having been to jungles in Central America and seen them in the wild.
