Fun for the whole family in Bontebok
Mountain views and sprawling nature is the backdrop to your family fun at Bontebok National Park.
Bontebok National Park, situated approximately two hours from Cape Town, has all the makings of a fun-filled family vacation or quick weekend break. Here’s a few reasons why:
Take the Nature Trail
Take the kids away from the iPads, leave technology behind and connect with what truly matters – time with each other and nature. There are three nature trails that start and end in the Rest Camp area.
See the Park from a Mountain Bike
The Park offers numerous trails where mountain bikers can hit the dirt, as animals do not pose a safety threat in this Park. Alternatively, cycle along the tourist roads.
Explore the Historic Town of Swellendam
Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa, lies just 5km away from the Park. This picturesque town offers plenty of attractions including a host of National Monuments, galleries and numerous eateries and pubs.
Picnic on the banks of the Breede River
Whether you’re staying the night visiting for the day – enjoy some time out on the banks of the Breede River with friends and family and use the designated braai and picnic areas. Full ablution facilities are available at these sites.
Go on a Game Drive
Bontebok National Park was originally established to conserve a species – its namesake, the Bontebok. Go game viewing in search of these beautiful creatures from your own vehicle along a circular route which includes three viewpoints with stunning views of the Breede River, the Old Racecourse and surrounding countryside.
