KOEDOESKOP PRIVATE MOUNTAIN RESERVE

Koedoeskop Private Mountain Reserve - Full Board Accommodation & Activities for the whole family in an unspoilt natural environment near Somerset East in the Karoo, Eastern Cape

Koedoeskop (kuduskop), Afrikaans for "Kudu’s Hill", is a privately owned 3600ha nature reserve committed to the preservation of the South Africa fauna & flora, particularly that of the Eastern Cape.

Owned & managed by nature enthusiasts, our objective is to offer a true experience of the African bush and its wildlife. Unlike many African lodges where you will spend most of your time at the back of a 4x4, we specialise on activities such as walking & hiking, horse-riding, mountain biking, game & bird viewing, botany trails or tracking.

It is the perfect place for family or friends to reunite and spend quality time together in an unspoiled natural environment. We specifically welcome children, even very young, to whom we can offer dedicated outdoor activities. Koedoeskop is located in the Southern Karoo, a malaria-free and bilharzia-free area, therefore there are no special health precautions (or vaccination) necessary.

Accommodation

You will be accommodated in our old Karoo-style farm-house which has been tastefully renovated.  The house offers 4 spacious double en-suite rooms. Single beds can be added for children on request. 

We have a swimming-pool for the warm summer days and all amenities (air-conditioning, heaters, lounge with fire-place, etc…), in a rustic-chic atmosphere. 

Enjoy dinners and/or evening drinks beside the fire in our “boma”, beneath the un-spoilt Eastern Cape starry sky, while exchanging stories about the day’s experiences. We pride ourselves to serve real home-cooking made from fresh local ingredients, many from our own garden, with a French touch.

Holidays should be about freedom and… exploring! Therefore, we propose that you spend some of your nights’ stay right in the middle of the bush so you can have a chance to get closer to the African wilderness with its unique sights, sounds & smells. Waking up to the bird’s chorus, with the first sunrays, watching a kudu strolling away from the river is a magical moment which we hope to share with you...

Activities

Walks and hikes, horse-back safaris, mountain biking are all available activities and great means of discovering our exceptionally rich biodiversity. 

The Reserve has more than 120kms of roads & tracks to take you literally anywhere, from our hidden valleys to the highest plateaus, hilltops, and along the undulating river bed. 

We also have archery on site, and, depending on your wishes, we can tailor made stays more specifically designed, for example, around botany, geology or bird viewing.
