Bushmans Kloof Reserve

Located in the Cederberg Mountains, Bushmans Kloof Reserve is a haven of natural beauty in South Africa. Spanning 7,500 hectares of private wilderness, this family owned retreat is home to over 130 ancient San rock art sites, some dating back 10,000 years and each a window into the lives of the region’s earliest inhabitants. Guided by local experts, explore these awe-inspiring sites and learn more about the history of the San people. The landscapes’ wide open plains, dramatic rock formations and tranquil mountain pools further enrich the experience.

The lodge offers 14 well-appointed rooms, two opulent suites and two luxurious private villas, each surrounded by lush gardens. Thoughtfully designed, the interiors blend heritage furniture, handpicked art and antiques with modern comforts. Private terraces invite you to take in the panoramic views of the wilderness, whilst the villas provide an exclusive retreat for families or groups seeking more privacy.

Dining at Bushmans Kloof is a celebration of South Africa’s Western Cape. Fresh produce is sourced daily from the on-site gardens and native ingredients like rooibos and wild herbs add a distinctive local flair. Guests are treated to evolving seasonal menus, be it whilst dining under the stars in a traditional South African braai or at an intimate candlelit table. The lodge’s extensive wine cellar, housing nearly 3,000 bottles from 700 producers, showcases the best of South Africa’s vineyards and beyond. Tastings focus on the celebrated wines of the Cederberg region alongside iconic vintages, boutique gems and auction rarities.

The spa at Bushmans Kloof offers a curated menu of treatments inspired by ancient healing traditions. Products infused with ingredients like baobab oil, mafura butter and rooibos create a sensory journey rooted in the local environment.
