Bushman’s Kloof (Cederberg Area, Western Cape, South Africa)

Cape Town is a global hot-spot for incentive groups, with that pulse even quickening following World Cup soccer and to be further heightened when the international SITE Congress is held there from 4-7 December this year. The natural and most desired add-on is a big-five safari elsewhere...but many now need an alternative to wildlife safari.

Think of all the apt superlatives from any place on earth you have ever experienced. Bushmans Kloof is in that class...and beyond most. Marketing hype has degraded words and phrases and many places make wild and undeserved claims.

Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat, 270km from Cape Town, beckons you to “lie still and feel the earth” and promises to “nourish your soul with calm and comfort.” These are not empty clichés but precise facts. Voted by Conde Nast Traveler as “Best Hotel in the World 2009” the citation said to experience Bushmans was “deeply enriching and beyond all expectations.” The global accolades have been many and richly deserved, including Tattler’s top hotels in the world.

A majestic Relais & Chateaux brand and member of the elite Red Carnation Group it features 16 spectacular luxury rooms and suites set in an ecological oasis of open plains, rock pools and waterfalls and landscapes of staggering rock formations. There are more than 130 ancient Bushman rock art sites and you are assured of exclusivity and rejuvenation that beggars belief. There is a spirit and mystical beauty that soothes and the world-class spa truly rejuvenates.

Bushmans Kloof has also received consistent world-wide acclaim for its exceptional dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the 7,500 hectare estate that provides a predator and malaria free sanctuary to many endangered species of flora and fauna. The Cederberg wilderness area is part of the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site.

Hit the high-spots in Cape Town and then take your VIP group to Bushmans on a journey of discovery, enrichment and indulgence. There can’t be a better spot on the planet for that!
