There is a primate place called 'Monkey Town' just south of Cape Town in Somerset West, which is worth a visit... see link

Monkey Town

Elsewhere there is a fairly basic lion park, and the opportunity to get up close to Cheetahs at the Spier winery near Stellenbosch ( they also have birds of prey there too)...see other link!

I would really recommend to go to the eastern cape, theres several locations with captive elephants,

South Africa: Elephant locations

Knysna just to name one of them, theres nice whale and white shark safaris, you have the Addo elephant park with not only big five, but I belive now they have big seven after they namaged to reach the cost with the park.

And then just drive along the coast line from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth is a wonderful trip with beautiful nature.
