BUSHMANS KLOOF WILDERNESS RESERVE & RETREAT

Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve at the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains (Western Cape) is â€˜paradiseâ€™ for bird watchers and photography enthusiasts, with 150 bird species sharing their home with over 35 species of mammals and more than 755 types of plants.

Mystical, wind-sculpted sandstone rock formations frame this five-star luxury retreat rated among the Tatler Top 101 Best Hotels in the World (2008). Just 270km from Cape Town, the malaria-free reserve is an ecological oasis for diverse wildlife with no dangerous predators, boasting some 130 ancient San rock art sites at one the worldâ€™s largest â€˜open air art galleriesâ€™.

Breathtaking vistas of immense open plains make this the ideal milieu to enhance your photographic prowess. Bird watchers can look forward to encounters with many species that are found in the reserve, as well as the ducks and other water birds that reside in the lodge dam within metres from the guest rooms.

Evening nature drives, guided rock art walks and exhilarating outdoor activities offset tranquil spa treatments in natural settings including an outdoor spa gazebo. Luxurious accommodation extends to Koro Lodge, an exclusive, private child-friendly villa, while delectable cuisine distinguishes this authentic African wilderness escape. Rates are inclusive of luxury 5-star accommodation, four meals daily, early morning rock-art excursions, evening nature drives with sun-downers in the reserve and standard lodge activities which include rock-climbing, mountain biking and archery.
