ECO-TOURISM
ADVENTURE STAY-OVER
Hiking:
Apart from an abundance of hiking trails across the farm, the most impressive
is a two-hour hike down a majestic mountain valley with deep, and mostly dry
waterfalls to the banks of the Orange River. Along the way you can sleep over
in our natural stone tent or continue along and camp on the banks of the Orange
River. Climbing and walking up the highest mountains will give you the most
spectacular views, especially from your camping site with the shadows of early
morning and late afternoon. On your way you can enjoy very rare and interesting
plants that you will find nowhere else in the world. Interesting and colourful
rock formations formed in iron and sandstone also awaits you. Birds like the
magnificent Black Eagle, Batteleur, Rosy cheek Lovebird, Fish Eagle, etc.
will comfort bird-lovers. A variety of small mammals, lizards, ground beetles
and flying creatures will complete your interesting semi-desert experience.
Fishing:
Bring along your fishing rods and catch your own healthy meal of garb, yellow
tail, bass, etc. while camping on the banks of the Orange River.
4x4
Trails:
Enthusiasts of this magnificent way of enjoying and seeing nature will truly
be able to put their fire horses through their paces (not for the faint hearted).
Along the way you may, apart from spectacular views, also see an abundance
of wild animals, birds and plants. Because these trails are guided, early
booking is important.
4
Wheel Motorbikes:
This way of transport will take you where only the best and short 4x4 vehicles
can hardly go, especially biking down to the great Orange River Valley.
