North of Cape Town, the rugged Cedarberg Mountains drop down to the endless plains of the Karoo in a wild land where game picks its way around some of Africa's finest examples of San rock art, and spectacular Karoo plant species that explode into colour after light seasonal rains.
Just three hours by road from Cape Town, it is almost another world. Bushman's Kloof brings new standards of luxury and cuisine to a hitherto undeveloped part of South Africa, preserving some of the country's greatest art treasures for a new generation, and has now been recognised as a South African Natural Heritage site.
Accommodation is in 16 1uxurious rooms and suites, set amongst rolling lawns, fully-appointed but blending with the natural setting.
In the Manor House, natural woods, polished by age, provide a stately setting for fine cuisine that combines the best produce of the estate's own herb, fruit and vegetable garden with the finest produce of the Karoo.
Exploration is through game drives, guided botanical walks, bird watching, nature trails, canoeing and swimming in crystal clear natural rock pools, star gazing and, perhaps best of all, exploring the 125 internationally renowned rock art sites protected within the conservancy.
Prices for this accommodation are available on request
