Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Retreat is a privately owned wilderness reserve and is world renowned for its 130 rock art sites. In recognition of its rich cultural, historical and environmental significance, Bushmans Kloof has been declared a South African Natural Heritage site.
 
Immense open plains, deep ravines, spectacular waterfalls and prehistoric rock formations characterise this ecological oasis, nestled between the majestic mountains of the Cederberg and the vast plains of the Great Karoo. 270 Kilometres north of Cape Town, unique and unspoilt, this once hunting ground of the intrepid San, is home to an incredible variety of wildlife and plant species, and is a premier spring flower destination.
 

Day 1: Depart from Cape Town (see directions below) to Clanwilliam and on to
Bushmanskloof. The scenic drive will take about three and a half hours. Unpack and relax or take a swim in the rock pools. Enjoy afternoon high tea followed by an evening nature drive in open vehicles to experience the magnificent wilderness and environment. View some of the indigenous plains game – the rare and endangered Cape Mountain Zebra and Bontebok, Gemsbok, Eland, Black Wildebeest and others.
