Wild Meerkat Adventure Tour

Oudtshoorn

Activity Description

These tours only commence at sunrise (Contact US on 084 772 9678 one day in advance to confirm final start time for your activity) are dependent on fair weather, since these little creatures will not venture outside their burrows on rainy days

The most popular of our activities we offer are without a doubt the daily wild habituated meerkat tours. (No tours on rainy days & Christmas day).

Meerkats are part of the so-called Shy 5 which also includes the bat-eared fox, the aardvark, porcupine and aardwolf. The meerkat tours last between 2-3 hours and booking is essential. Upon arrival at the meerkat burrows, guests are treated to a hot cup of coffee, after which they are issued with a lightweight aluminum chair to sit in while observing the meerkats as they come out of the burrow into the sunshine and then go about their daily routine of foraging and frolicking. These habituated wild animals are never fed or handled by humans.

Tours are presented by experienced tour guides. It is a fantastic experience & unique privilege to get this close to these little creatures in the wild.

The day before the booked tour, the guides have to go out and search for the meerkats. Upon his return from the field he will then inform us of the meeting point and time…

No children under the age of 10 years allowed as you have to sit very quietly in order not to scare the little creatures. Pictures may be taken So please bring your Camera.

Customer Reviews

We had an incredible morning with the meerkats! Good organisation and clear communication helped us to fully enjoy some most amazing hours with this group of meerkats, which completely stole our hearts. Thanks for that and all the interesting information, that was passed along with a good dose of humour! - Christine


This is a must do experience for all wildlife lovers! Very well organised by the friendly, knowledgeable hosts. Allow 2-3 hours because they are wild & don't run to a schedule. All our group thought this was one of our highlights from our holiday. - Keith


Dit was een van my "bucket list" wense wat waar geword het. Dit was n ongelooflike ondervindig. Baie dankie vir al die werk en studie wat ingesit is om vir ons dit so interessant te maak en ons het baie geleer van die meerkatte en kyk nou met ander oe na n meerkat. Groete van Wennie ,Laura, Johan en Elmarie Opperman Uit Bethal en Krugersdorp - Elmarie


Great experience, the best tour in South Africa. - Maor


It was really amazing. Both guides explained everything very detailed and didn't hesitate to answer all our questions. We were lucky to see a lot of meerkats in a short time. Really great tour - highly recommendable! - Alexander
