Bushmans Kloof offers a luxurious wilderness escape in the heart of the Cederberg Mountains, just three hours from Cape Town. Recognised as a South African Natural Heritage Site, the lodge combines modern comforts with rich cultural heritage, surrounded by dramatic sandstone formations, endemic flora and ancient San rock art.
The lodge is less about Big Five safaris and more about reconnecting with nature through guided walks, cultural experiences, wellness, and outdoor adventure. A proud member of Relais & Châteaux, Bushmans Kloof offers refined dining, award-winning service, and one of South Africa’s most tranquil natural settings.

A Kwandwe, winelands & adventure; immerse yourself in South Africa’s natural beauty without compromising on luxury. Spend six days in the company of expert guides while exploring idyllic winelands and a private game reserve, all while staying in private villas.
History, culture, wildlife and the world's largest waterfall await travellers embarking on this 10-day safari, an itinerary that takes in everything from game drives in search of the Big Five to a tour of Robben Island, where the legendary Nelson Mandela spent 18 years as a political prisoner.
Relax in the ultimate luxury of your lodge after encountering the African big cats whilst out on safari with your expert guide. Spend time on the coast of Cape Town exploring historic Robben Island and the rugged rocks of beautiful Cape Point. Visit Hermanus, a world-renowned whale watching destination, take the opportunity to see both black and white rhino in one place and even search for the rare white Lion in Timbavati Game Reserve.
We love Bushmans Kloof for its unique blend of wellness, culture and wilderness. Unlike traditional safari lodges, its focus lies in restoring balance through nature — from exploring ancient San rock art to unwinding in the award-winning spa. Guests experience the tranquillity of the Cederberg while enjoying Relais & Châteaux service and cuisine. Its strong conservation ethos, protecting endemic flora and fauna and preserving cultural heritage, aligns perfectly with Natural World Safaris’ values. Bushmans Kloof is a destination to disconnect, rejuvenate, and immerse yourself in South Africa’s landscapes beyond the safari.
