WILDLIFE

Rare Cape Mountain Zebra now roam in the company of other creatures revered in Bushman mythology such as the Eland, the monarch of antelopes. The mask-faced Gemsbok too graze once more outside the sandstone caves containing their images, painted there long ago by the Shaman.

BOTANICAL

Each year in spring, nature celebrates her rebirth here with extravagant flower displays transforming the dramatic sandstone landscapes into a fantasy world of intense colour.

ROCK ART

The reserve is enhanced by over 130 of these rock paintings, which form a priceless open-air art gallery of global relevance.

CONSERVATION

Bushmans Kloof is passionately committed to conserving the land, wildlife and flora that form part of this extraordinary wilderness reserve. Acting as a safe haven to some highly endangered species of indigenous plants and animals.

HISTORY

In the grand tradition of epic stories Bushmans Kloof began its re-birth in 1992 when Bill and Mark McAdam purchased a neglected property and painstakingly created a plan to restore the reserve into a unique wilderness retreat. In 1996 they opened Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Retreat to the public.
