Lekkerwater Beach Lodge at De Hoop undoubtedly one of the most glorious coastal reserves in Africa. The reserve is famous for some of the best whale watching on the planet when, from July to November, Southern Right whales and their offspring flock here in their hundreds from Antarctica. It’s not simply whales here either, and you’ll also spot sizeable pods of dolphin and all sorts of marine life in this, the ultimate, land-based marine safari.
