About
This privately owned nature reserve on the western head of Knysna is a National Heritage Site and home to the endangered blue duiker antelope. Guests are ferried over and then ascend the head in a large open-topped vehicle to enjoy magnificent views of the lagoon, town, and ocean. Qualified guides then lead the visitors down through milkwood forests and coastal flora onto the cliffs and coastal caves on the 2km (1.25-mile) Bushbuck Trail (you can also choose to drive down). Meals are served at the Tavern; the buffet is included in your ticket price and focuses mainly on seafood. Note: The reserve's peace is seriously compromised during Knysna's busiest season, when additional trips are made.
