Bushmans Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Wellness Retreat in the Cederberg presents the ideal tranquil haven for corporate clients wishing to book a truly unique executive planning session, workshop or team building getaway for small groups.
Located only 270km from Cape Town, at the foothills of the Cederberg Mountains amidst staggering rock formations and wide open plains, the five-star Relais & Châteaux lodge, which was recently voted ‘Number 1 Resort in South Africa’ and one of the ‘3 Best Hotels & Resorts in the World’ in the 2015 Condé Nast Traveler USA Readers’ Choice Awards, offers delegates the chance to swop the corporate world for a welcoming natural retreat.
Whether to motivate, inspire change, create a new vision, reward hard work or break down barriers, Bushmans Kloof enables groups to get away from the city, focus and re-connect in glorious wilderness surroundings. The exclusive, privately owned lodge provides an environment which encourages creative thoughts and imagination to roam free, before delegates return to the city refreshed and ready to face everyday career challenges.
Bushmans Kloof features only 16 guest rooms and suites, making it perfect for smaller groups and companies looking for a peaceful, relaxed setting. Included in the accommodation rate from R2950 (per person sharing per night) are complimentary use of the conference room, conference equipment, WiFi and breakaway refreshments, in addition to all meals and lodge activities such as daily nature drives and guided rock art excursions. Other exhilarating complimentary outdoor activities include mountain biking, hiking and canoeing, while a range of holistic spa treatments help to restore both body and mind.
Conference organisers also have the possibility of arranging small private dinners for their groups in some of Bushmans Kloof’s spectacular dining locations, including Makana, The Homestead and Kadoro, a secluded cottage in the heart of the reserve.
Unique to Bushmans Kloof is a choice of team building activities, introduced not only to enhance the all-important team spirit but to also add a vital element of fun. The inspiring range of team building programmes is available at an additional charge (quotes on request) and can be tailored according to individual requirements.
Amazing Race
Bushmans Kloof’s Amazing Race creates trust and cultivates teamwork – as well as a healthy dose of competition! Teams follow instructions provided and face adventures and challenges in locations throughout the reserve, including archery competitions and ‘treasure’ hunts.
Gourmet Delights
The lodge organises private wine tastings and cooking lessons for groups. Teams learn how to cook using fresh, local ingredients – many of which come directly from Bushmans Kloof’s organic gardens, and elements from various types of cuisine.
Fish Relocation
Teams have the chance to get involved in Bushmans Kloof’s Yellowfish, Redfin and Sawfin conservation project. As a catchment area the reserve is the perfect ‘nursery’ for the young fry (juvenile fish), which migrate down the Olifants River in the winter months. Participants catch and remove alien fish from the dams, and restock them with Yellowfish fry.
Elizabethfontein Primary School Visit
Bushmans Kloof is proud to support and contribute towards the local Elizabethfontein Primary School. Visitors can experience a heart-warming visit, observing classes, meeting pupils and teachers and gain insight into how much can be achieved with a little help from the outside.
