ACTIVITIES

We have an informal hiking trail, the Aloe trail which is a 45 minute (2km) walk near the farm stead.  Alternatively one is welcome to walk in the veld and enjoy the beautiful scenery, game and excellent bird viewing opportunities on the way. swakara farming information tours and farm drives can be done if booked in advance. The swakara farming information tour is also available for people who is not sleeping over and just want to see what swakara farming is about. The best times for this are in our swakara lambing seasons which are from January 15 to March 15, May 4 to July 10 and September 10 to November 10. For these tours booking is essential. These tours are more or less 1-3 hours long.

Bird watching (during one day in March 2009 a birdwatcher spotted 24 different bird species in one spot in about 1.5 hours time). Participation in farming activities if staying for two or more days at no extra cost. Swimming in a farm reservoir for the hot summer days are just a few meters away from the campsite.

Excellent stargazing opportunities!
