Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is situated
on the hills above Walker Bay, 165 km’s from
Cape Town, just past Hermanus, the whale
capital of South Africa.
The area is world renowned for its natural beauty and amazing
diversity of life and is also one of the best land based viewing in the world
for the Southern Right Whales.
At Grootbos you will experience
nature like never before. Let our expert
guides introduce you to the wonders of the
Fynbos. Discover the fascinating relationships between the
insects, birds, mammals and
flowering plants of this diverse ecosystem.
Smell the aromatic wild herbs, watch for
exquisite birds and be awed by the

Take a meandering path through an ancient
Milkwood forest, where thousand year old
trees send exploratory branches in search of sunlight, or visit one of the
remnant Afro-montane forests on the reserve.
Young and old can walk,

horse ride and enjoy the views from the elevation
of a comfortable saddle on a well schooled horse or pony.
