Visit the southernmost tip of our continent for a day filled with vivid storytelling, extensive natural beauty and a host of unusual experiences.
This specially crafted day trip will show you the undiscovered corners of this unique area through a combination of experiences you won’t find anywhere else. Snap unforgettable pictures of the tip of Africa, watch the locals feeding sting-rays in the Struisbaai harbour and uncover the fascinating history of small villages.
Spot birds, antelope and ostriches as we drive on the border of the Agulhas National Park, where the Blue Crane bird is abundant. Then enjoy a leisurely lunch in the harbour. Take a brisk walk to the lighthouse, and then learn how many ships came to be wrecked along this ‘Cape of Storms’.
From mountain peaks to ocean depths, the Grootbos landscape and surroundings hold ancient secrets of humankind. This region, where Cape Floral Kingdom meets the wild Walker Bay coastline, has been home to humankind for millennia. Over the last decade, paleo-anthropological findings reveal how our earliest ancestors once thrived here, surrounded by the same rich biodiversity that continues to flourish today. Whether exploring on land, across the water, or from the sky, experience the significance of this unique area and the profound impact it has on all who experience it.
Grootbos is a world leader in sustainable tourism and has been awarded some of the highest international accolades possible, making us one of only a handful of lodges to achieve this.
The last year has been a busy one at Grootbos. We rebuilt our beloved Garden Lodge entirely and re-opened it in April 2022. We also officially launched the Grootbos Florilegium - Africa's first contemporary florilegium - which is a collection of botanical illustrations created by local and international artists, depicting the charismatic plants found on our reserve and the surrounding regions.
