Ik wil al heel lang een keer naar Bushmans Kloof, maar het lag altijd uit de route. Omdat we dit keer alleen voor de Kaapprovincie kozen en toch nog iets speciaals wilden doen werd de knoop doorgehakt en reserveerden wij een verblijf van vier nachten. Vanuit Stellenbosch toch nog een flinke trip zeker wanneer je onderweg nog een lekke band hebt. Het is een interessante tocht die over zeer goede wegen naar Citrusdal en Clanwilliam voert. Interessant om te zien hoeveel prachtige kwekerijen en rooibosvelden hier liggen. Dan via de Botterkloofpas naar de toegangspoort naar Bushmanskloof en via nog eens acht kilometer lange toegangsweg op naar de lodge. Echt een schitterend niemandsland en waar dan ineens die groene oase waarin de prachtige lodge ligt. Hartebeesten die grazen op gemanicuurde grasvelden, prachtige immens grote bomen en goed onderhouden struiken, bloemen en bronzen beelden. Het ziet er hier allemaal perfect onderhouden uit. Wij werden heel vriendelijk door Sam en Gerhard ontvangen met vochtige gastendoekjes en een verfrissend rooibos welkomstdrankje. We kregen een rondleiding door de verschillende gebouwen, zien verschillende zwembaden en worden naar ons huisje, Rock Pool 1, gebracht. Prachtig, met veel smaak ingericht en van alles voorzien. Een fijn overdekt terras met zitje en een zwembad vlakbij. Onze gids voor de komende dagen is Abigail, een jonge enthousiaste vrouw die met veel passie en enthousiasme over van alles weet te vertellen. Zij is zo blij met haar baan en straalt dat uit. Het was super om ‘s morgens met haar op pad te gaan naar de mooiste rotstekeningen in deze ongelofelijke schatkamer die honderden tekeningen en vindplaatsen telt. Echt genoten! De eerste avond een onvergetelijke avond gehad met vier andere gasten in Kadoro, een historisch herdershuisje op 25 minuten rijden van de lodge waar honderden ka****n brandden en waar een chef een heerlijke barbecue verzorgde nadat we eerst uitgebreid hadden geborreld en genoten van deze afgelegen en bijzondere locatie. We hebben daar zo heerlijk en gezellig gegeten en veel gelachen. Daarna vertelde Abigail ons over de eindeloze ‘Afrikaanse’ sterrenhemel. Onvergetelijk om hier de Melkweg te zien! De derde avond zagen we vanuit Makana, een ander mooi restaurant, zelfs een vallende ster! Het is hier héél goed uitrusten. Overal zwembaden, ligbedden, rustige plekjes om te lezen, een spelletje te spelen of een drankje te drinken. Wij hebben zo genoten van het zwembad bij Makana waar we uren lagen te genieten van ons boek, de grazende hartebeesten en de schitterende lelievijver met de vele vogeltjes en andere beestjes. Heel aardige service door onder andere Vovo en Beatrice. Het eten is het beste dat wij in Zuid-Afrika hebben gekregen. Ongelofelijk vers en gevariëerd. Mooi vlees en vis, veelal verse groenten uit eigen tuin waar de tomaatjes zoals vroeger smaakten. De grootte van de porties waren naar wens en niet zo groot als elders hetgeen wij een verspilling vinden. Een mooie en geva

Nach 3 Stunden Fahrt von Kapstadt öffnet sich die spektakuläre Landschaft der Cederberge und Bushman’s Kloof liegt mitten drin. Ein ehemaliges Landgut, sehr schön eingerichtete Villen mit Reet gedeckt, was für ein perfektes Klima in den Häusern sorgt. Die Ausflüge, insbesondere zu den Höhlenmalereien sind spektakulär. Personal ist sehr freundlich und kompetent. Sehr gutes Essen und schöne Pools

From the moment we arrived at Bushman’s Kloof, it was clear that this wasn’t just a venue—it was an experience. The team went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, cherished, and truly valued. Every detail, from the warm and friendly staff to the impeccable food, wine (shoutout to the amazing sommelier), beautiful rooms and awesome Koro lodge, was thoughtfully executed. The wedding itself was nothing short of magical. The tailor-made setup was breathtaking, and the way the team orchestrated every detail was simply unforgettable. It felt like every moment was curated just for us, and the result exceeded all our expectations—an easy 15/10! If you’re considering Bushman’s Kloof for your wedding or a special event, don’t hesitate—it’s their best-kept secret! A must-visit destination!

Really lovely chilled place. In all honesty there’s not a massive amount to do there (compared to other reserves) except relax & enjoy the food - albeit there are a few walks around the estate to do & couple of drives per day - but it was perfect for us. The food was generally very good & all the staff were not only very pleasant but also very helpful. It’s an old farm with a number of separate properties around the old main house & set around a large pond (so water birds & hundreds of dragonflies) close to a river through a valley. We saw zebra, Eland, Oryx & Red Hartebeest on the game drives (other guests also saw Baboons & Tortoises while we were there), so it’s not somewhere you’ll get the BigGame experience but it was still good. There were things on offer like mountain biking, canoeing & fishing, but to be honest we were too busy relaxing to try them. We stayed 3 nights in the Riverside room, which has a private pool & we had zebras outside at midnight & Red Hartebeest first thing in the morning eating the grass. However, it was the most chilled & relaxing place we’ve been to for a long time & it’s hard not to think we’ll go again next time we are in SA. Faults: nothing I can think of & anything you ask for arrives immediately.

This is a great place to get away from life’s hustle and bustle. The food is outstanding. Morning drives/tricks to see rock art over 4000 years old was really interesting and educational covering the ways of the Sand people. Mountain biking round the extensive property was really great for impromptu wild life spotting. The Spa is ultra relaxing in the treatment annex with a view. I would highly recommend the private dining option in the old bushman’s hut with 100 candles (see photo). A big shout out to Abigail who was our very knowledgeable guide and covered the rock art, flora and animals/birds keeping the interest up. This is not a big 5 lodge but we really enjoyed it and will definitely be returning when time allows.

Bushman’s kloof is a truly amazing place. In a beautiful setting, you are treated to every luxury, beautiful lodges with amazing views, incredibly high quality food, and plenty of it! The staff are always more than happy to help and nothing is too much trouble. Our game drives with Abigail, were great, we saw all the wildlife we could have wanted, the rock art was stunning and Abigail was very knowledgeable about it all. We have had a great trip and would recommend it to everyone.

We had a fantastic family stay at Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat. The accommodations, restaurant, and spa were all exceptional, complemented by a friendly and professional staff who made us feel at home from the start. While the reserve doesn't feature the Big Five, it offers a rich variety of wildlife, stunning plants, and fascinating rock art. Our guide, Byron, impressed us with his extensive knowledge of the local flora and rock art, enhancing our experience significantly. This retreat is a true gem for nature lovers seeking tranquility and beauty.
