Introducing Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.
As a contributor on the Grootbos blog ( I am lucky enough to be a regular visitor to this place I call 'my kind of wonderland'. On my recent visit the focus was on time at Garden Lodge, an eco boat trip with Dyer Island Cruises, horse riding on the reserve and quad biking nearby. The place never ceases to amaze me.
Thank you Grootbos ( Dyer Island Cruises and Marine Dynamics ( for always showing me the unbeatable beauty of the Overberg with me.

Horse Riding
Grootbos Private Nature Reserve offers an unforgettable horse riding holiday in South Africa with trails through a lush fynbos valley and along the beach.
There are two main horseback rides Grootbos has to offer. The one option is to grasp the sheer scale of the 2500 hectare reserve on horseback and ride through the labyrinth of fynbos-clad paths on the reserve. Traverse across valleys bursting with a rich floral diversity and ascend mountains for a spectacular view across this natural jewel nestled in the Cape Floral Kingdom of the Western Cape. This ride is suitable for any level of experience as the wide open spaces mean you can vary between relaxed walks, trots and canters. There are rides every day and it is included in the accommodation few, so feel free to ride until your heart's content with Grootbos.
The other horse riding trail leads through the Walker Bay Nature Reserve and over pristine sand dunes to a long stretch of untouched beach. Let your horse reign free as you reach incredible speeds on a gallop across Die Plaat. This secluded beach is adorned with limestone rocks jutting from the ground and the Atlantic Ocean where the undulating waves caress the beating hooves of your horse. Nothing spells freedom like the wind whipping through your hair and uninterrupted beach to soar across on a powerful creature. This horseback ride is designed for experienced riders and is not included in the price of the accommodation, but it is worth every penny. The beach horse ride is one of those experiences in life that make it worth living.
The stables on Grootbos are beautifully maintained by people passionate about horses. The eighteen horses are well-groomed and trained so that people of all levels can enjoy an outride. There are also ponies for the young adventurers that can go on a relaxed outride or walk within the boundaries of the paddock. The children can also help feed and groom the horses as they are very calm.
Grootbos is the undiscovered horse riding gem of South Africa with magical experiences just waiting to happen.
EXPLORING THE CAPE FLORAL KINGDOM | GROOTBOS PRIVATE NATURE RESERVE
We spent a wonderful 24 hours exploring the Cape Floral Kingdom with Grootbos Private Nature Reserve. The five star luxury eco-lodge blew our minds with incredible views, delicious food, friendly staff and the most relaxing lodge ever experienced.
This video shows just a few of our highlights from the day (and night) namely, exploring Klipgat cave, watching the sun go down over the beach in De Kelders, embarking on an extremely insightful flower safari, and setting off on a very relaxing horse ride on the trails.

Allow Grootbos Private Nature Reserve to introduce you to a bio-diverse landscape nestled in the Western Cape. This five-star lodge beckons an adventure holiday with thrilling activities set in the pristine wilderness of the Southern tip of Africa. There are countless guided adventures to choose from to get your blood rushing:
Guests can go on a 4x4 flower safari to take in the splendour of this unique ecosystem in the midst of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Traverse across the 2500 hectare reserve on an open-top Land Rover to grasp the sheer scale and diversity of the 765 different flower species on Grootbos. There are also hiking trails leading across the reserve or through the intertwining branches of an ancient Milkwood forest.
A quad bike tour goes through indigenous forests, fynbos-clad hills and muddy ditches that require a bit of throttle. As you make your way through Uilenkraal Valley stop at a viewpoint for a breath-taking sight before you ascend the steep Mount Dyer.
Take to the skies and reach new heights and perspectives as you fly over untouched beaches, a gorgeous landscape and families of Southern right whales. Walker Bay is home to the whales from July to December and apart from viewing them from above, it offers some of the best land-based whale watching there is. To view the gentle giants in the natural habitat there are boat tours leaving daily during whale season.
Explore limestone caves that bear fascinating secrets of ancient man and days long forgotten. After the guided cave tour guests can meander along the untouched beach of Walker Bay Reserve or horse ride across the long stretch of virgin white sand. Feel the wind whip through your hair as these majestic creatures run free across a secluded beach.
The most adrenalin-pumping experience to be had at Grootbos is shark cage diving. You will be taken to the infamous Shark Alley where you will be dipped into an aluminium cage and see great white sharks glide past within inches. This unique encounter is the heart-pumping thrill of a lifetime!
From exploring indigenous wildflowers to swimming with the King of the Ocean, Grootbos has everything necessary for the ultimate adventure holiday in South Africa.
