Sustainable Ceder

Bushmans Kloof are proud to be a satellite nursery for Sustainable Ceder, who are working towards developing a self-sustainable population of the critically endangered Clanwilliam Ceder Tree. 

We currently have 600 saplings of critically endangered Clanwilliam Ceder Trees which will be planted in the surrounding Cederberg mountains. These mountains are named after the Clanwilliam Cedars, or Widdringtonia cedarbergensis, that were once abundant on the upper slopes, and are now faced with possible extinction. 

Freshwater research centre

The Freshwater Research Centre (FRC) is a non-profit organisation dedicated to impactful freshwater reserach and conservation in South Africa. 

Elizabethfontein School

The local Primary School and its 250 pupils are close to the heart of Bushmans Kloof, which is why the lodge supports the children’s academic, cultural, entrepreneurial and environmental education.
