Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is spectacularly situated on the fynbos and forest clad hills overlooking the whale-watching haven of Walker Bay.

Take a quiet walk through an ancient milkwood forest, or explore this natural wonderland by 4-wheel drive vehicle, or enjoy the views from a comfortable saddle on a well schooled horse or pony.

Guests can also enjoy other activities such as shark cage diving, scenic flights, exploring archaeological caves and whale watching. Bird lovers will delight in the large number of different bird species that are attracted to the various habitats that can be found in the reserve.

The reserve is also only a few minutes drive away from pristine beaches.
