Guided Milkwood Forest Walks & Fynbos-Clad Mountain Hikes

Grootbos Private Nature Reserve

Indulge the beauty and serenity...

Enjoy an entrancing stroll through our Milkwood forest or a more revitalising hike up our fynbos-clad mountains, as you begin to understand what makes Grootbos quite so special. From a sunbird sipping from a flower to an ocean vista that leaves you breathless, surprises await you around every corner.

Trails are all well marked and you can choose between self-guided walks or guided walks, to learn more about these fascinating and secretive eco-systems. Gaze into the petals of a King Protea, breathe in the blackcurrant scent of buchu or simply listen to the exquisite silence that surrounds you.

Contact Grootbos Private Nature Reserve today and our friendly and knowledgable guides will take you on a magical journey.
