NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY
Breathtaking landscapes, rare insects, birds and plants, the Tankwa Karoo
is a nature photographer's dream. At night the Milky Way is clearly visible streaked across the sky and makes for magical photo's.
Come test your photography skills here!
GAME DRIVES & SELF-DRIVES
View our wild antelope, be shown medicinal plants and taught about the Tankwa Karoo's history and significance as an ecosystem. Drives are only booked upon prior arrangement and take 2-3 hours since the farm is large (8500 ha). R 150 pp in a group or R 300 per single person (subject to availability). If your vehicle allows you can do a self-drive on the reserve. Just be mindful of the plants and keep in the designated pathways.
RIVERBED BRAAI OR PICNIC
Pack in your grill, some beer, boerewors roll or two and have a braai in a dry riverbed. Better yet, pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it!
NATURE & GUIDED WALKS
Spend some time alone in the veld and you might spot some interesting plants and animals. You can also book a guided walk for your group at R60 pp (groups of 10 or more only) and take a 1 to 2 hour walk with one of the staff who will tell you a bit more about the interesting fauna and flora of the Tankwa Karoo. Look at plants, tracks, ecological niches and open your eyes to the beauty of this landscape.
HUNTING (IN SEASON)
