See the stars and planets closer than ever at our Mini-Observatory. Our resident expert will ensure you get the best possible views of the night skies through our 10-inch telescope, including close up views of the moon and planets and other deep space objects. A truly unique experience.

From the middle of August to middle November you will normally findlots of flowers, a paradise for botanists and nature lovers. Summer months (December to the end of February) may be very hot with very little or no shade. Winter months (June - August) may vary from mild to very cold with frost and even snow on high lying areas. Temperatures also vary greatly from the high lying to the low lying camping sites with the latter generally ±8 °C warmer.

The route is more than 100km long in total and it is best to travel together with another vehicle. Normally you won’t do all the sections of the road and therefore one night is sufficient. If you really want to enjoy nature however - you can stay as long as you like. If you start from Kagga Kamma reception, the route slowly descends from 3800 ft above sea level to ± 1200feet in the Ceres Karoo, it is mostly quite relaxing but there are a few very steep sections.

We have a few 50 liter water canisters available free of charge, but we need a deposit of R100.00. You are welcome to bring your own canisters. Fire wood may not be collected from the bush - we have wood for sale at Reception.
