Birkenhead House
THE ORIGINAL GUIDED SAFARIS® LUXURY SAFARI LODGES • SOUTH AFRICA
Signature Guided Safaris®
Birkenhead House
A diary of summer memories was the inspiration for this luxurious creation. Imagine yourself in picturesque Walker Bay; the world’s finest whale watching capital, surrounded by the rugged cliffs and Tolkien-inspired scenery at the southern-most edge of the African continent. Capturing the spirit and warmth of a sunkissed Mediterranean village with rich Garden Route flora and champagne sea breeze: This is the laidback charm of Birkenhead House.
