Nature Drives & Walks

Daily nature excursions in the company of our experienced guides reveal the incredible biodiversity of this delicate wilderness ecosystem. Learn about the journey of the reserve to conservation champion and delve into our ongoing efforts to preserve and protect some of Africa’s most endangered flora and fauna. After dinner, a night drive shows the reserve in an entirely different light, with the opportunity to spot the rare nocturnal inhabitants of the Cederberg, including aardwolf, African wildcat, bat-eared fox and porcupine. 

Habitat conservation

Since 1995, Bushmans Kloof has poured enormous resources into reintroducing species that would have historically roamed these plains. A particular conservation success story is our work with the Cape Mountain Zebra, an animal saved from the brink of extinction. Today, Bushmans Kloof protects one of the world’s largest private herds of Cape Mountain Zebra.  

In addition to this icon of the mountains, the wildlife reintroduction programme has also seen the return of the magnificent Red Hartebeest, Grey Rhebok and the Ostrich, as well as smaller creatures such as the Bat-Eared Fox, African Wildcat, Cape Fox, Caracal and Cape Clawless Otter.
