Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve and Wellness Retreat
In Our Opinion
'What will stay with you most won’t be the game drives or the spa (both excellent), but an early morning walk to see the rock art. Standing in front of figures painted on the cave walls, you get the odd feeling of being both very small and very connected. Like the landscape and its stories are letting you in for just a moment.'
