Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat

Cederberg Mountains, Western Cape

Bushmans Kloof Rock Art Background

An oasis in the wilderness

Cradled by the rugged Cederberg Mountains, Bushmans Kloof offers an utterly unique wilderness escape in South Africa.

This family-owned lodge and ecological oasis is set within a 7500-hectare private reserve. Offering five-star luxury accommodation and inspired South African cuisine, memorable days at Bushmans Kloof are spent discovering the wide-open plains, awe-inspiring wildlife and pristine mountain landscapes.

Discover our special world, with unique access to more than 130 ancient rock art sites, some dating back as far as 10,000 years, and the opportunity to discover the region’s ancient San culture in the company of our experienced local guides.

Please note that some services may be limited as a result of governmental regulations.

Meet the people who keep our traditions alive

The availability of these experiences will be updated in line with government guidelines on visiting private homes and the rollout of vaccines amongst our experience partners.
