General Information

Bushmans Kloof is a heavenly wilderness reserve, a retreat of unparalleled beauty and recreational diversity, the perfect place to discover the continued re-birth of a long forgotten land.

A refuge for body and soul, Bushmans Kloof is surrounded by thousands of acres of majestic, savage beauty and wind-sculpted landscape of reddish sandstone rock formations - in the heart of the Cederberg Mountains in the Western Cape.

The 18,000 acre wilderness reserve boasts one of the world's largest open-air art galleries with more than 130 ancient San Bushmen rock art sites, fabulous walking (guided or unguided) opportunities and a serene oasis setting for total relaxation.

There are no large predators at Bushmans Kloof, and so you are encouraged to explore the great outdoors and interact with nature as you please. The reserve offers walking, mountain biking, river walks, canoeing and swimming in crystal clear natural rock pools, bird watching, rock art excursions, game viewing and sunset game drives in open 4x4 game vehicles. It is the perfect environment for painting, photography (especially in the September Namaqualand flower season), stargazing and quality down-time.
