Wildlife & Nature Trips

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is set in 1,750 hectares of indigenous bush, with sweeping views of Walker Bay. During whale season (July to November), the cliffs of Walker Bay offer the 'Best land-based whale watching in the world.' Huge Southern Right Whales come here to calve and mate and loll around in the breakers just a few metres off shore. Boat trips also reveal huge sea bird colonies and Cape fur seals. The large private cottages and secluded balconies in the Grootbos Nature Reserve allow you to watch the sun setting over the ocean. The cottages are set amongst ancient milkwood trees and you awaken to the calls of forest birds. Grootbos has won several awards for its ecologically sound tourism and encourages conservation of its precious fauna and beautiful Fynbos - the world's sixth floral kingdom. "The best example of conservation of biodiversity I have ever seen – Grootbos says it with flowers" - David Bellamy (British Conservationist) Set amongst ancient Milkwood trees, our eco-friendly accommodation near Cape Town consists of large, private accommodation suites.
