More adventure awaits...

Have a paddle

The tributaries of the perennial Olifants River flow through the sandstone formations of the reserve, delivering crystal-clear water to our large earthen-walled dam. Here canoes are available for guests to paddle and swim beneath the bright blue sweep of African skies.

Fly-fishing

The rivers and dams of Bushmans Kloof are home to the endemic Clanwilliam Yellowfish (Labeobarbus capensis), highly prized by fly-fishermen for putting up a vigorous fight. All fly-fishing equipment is provided, and fishing is strictly catch-and-release.

Take aim

Spend the quiet afternoon hours honing your accuracy as you put bow to string on our archery range. Our experienced guides are on hand to introduce you to the finer points of the sport. Alternatively challenge friends, family and other guests to a game of croquet on our expansive lawns.
