Nestled in the rugged Cederberg Mountains, Bushmans Kloof offers a unique escape into the South African wilderness. The family-run lodge and ecological oasis is located in a 7,500-hectare private reserve, where breathtaking nature, decimated luxury accommodations, and inspiring South African cuisine are the order of the day. A fitness center and modern spa are also part of the offering. At Bushmans Kloof, you will spend unforgettable days discovering the vast plains, impressive wildlife, ancient rock art sites, and untouched mountain landscapes.
Wellness is one of the most important pillars of your dream vacation at Bushmans Kloof. In the tranquil surroundings of the intimate spa, you can expect tailor-made treatments, nourishing therapies, and a holistic relaxing break. Outside, 7,500 hectares of untouched mountain wilderness await you. Enjoy a guided hike with experienced rangers or take in the scenery on an idyllic evening nature drive. The reserve's gravel roads are ideal for mountain biking, while the pristine mountain lakes are perfect for swimming on hot summer days. Fishing enthusiasts can even try their hand at fly fishing.
Bushmans Kloof offers 14 spacious rooms, two suites, and two spacious villas set amid lush indigenous gardens. Each accommodation is individually decorated with a beautiful collection of hand-picked artwork, decorations, antiques, and historic furniture that reflect the history and culture of the region. From the private terraces, you can enjoy panoramic views of the wilderness. The two luxurious private villas offer the ideal space to spend a secluded dream vacation surrounded by the natural beauty of this ancient mountain range – including a heated private pool.
Most of the fresh produce served at Bushmans Kloof comes from the extensive gardens on site. The menus change daily and are always perfectly tailored to the season. Experiences such as private candlelit dinners or outdoor barbecues under the stars are also possible – making every plate a journey of discovery into the culinary traditions of South Africa's Western Cape. On top of that, Bushmans Kloof has an extensive wine cellar with almost 3,000 bottles from 700 producers in South Africa and abroad – including pioneering vintages and auction rarities.
It comes as no surprise that Bushmans Kloof receives awards every year – the lodge is located in an area of great cultural significance and is part of South Africa's national cultural heritage. Anyone who stays here for a while will probably never want to leave. The simple beauty of the mountains, the incredible rock formations, and the waterfalls, pools, and potholes were probably just as attractive to the San people long ago as they are to visitors today. More than 130 San rock paintings can be viewed on a tour with an experienced ranger – but you can also go hiking, mountain biking, fishing, or canoeing.
