Family Affair packages at Bushmans Kloof Main Lodge
Special 3-night/4-day Family Affair packages are offered at Bushmans Kloof’s main lodge on select dates during the school holidays. Educational and enriching, the Family Affair packages are specially designed for families wanting to spend time together in nature, with the opportunity to learn more about the rich ancient Bushman culture and the secrets of Mother Nature.
Mom and dad will have ample free time to enjoy the 5-star facilities, ranging from invigorating spa treatments, to relaxing in the library or visiting the fascinating Bushmans Kloof Heritage Centre. Or they may want to join the children mountain biking, hiking through the reserve, or swimming in the crystal clear rock pools.
Children will learn more about animals, plants and birds as well as the Bushman - their rock art, hunting techniques and tracking of animals. Other child-friendly activities on offer include canoeing and fishing, and trying their hand at creating their own ‘rock art’, as well as having the option of camping out with experienced rangers.
Early children’s suppers are served and guides and child minders will entertain the kids with night-walks, game drives or video’s while parents take time out to enjoy leisurely gourmet dinners on their own. Adult dinner choices range from homemade comfort foods to gourmet gastronomic meals, to be enjoyed in various stunning settings and dining locations at the lodge.
