What
To Do!
Situated
on nearly 4000 hectares of former farmland, Bushman Sands Game Reserve
offers malaria free sightings of a large variety of animal species.
Working with the conservation team of the award-winning Shamwari
Game Reserve, Bushman Sands has reintroduced indigenous animals
that once roamed freely over 200 years ago to their natural habitat,
and is working towards the restoration of the environment to its
natural state.
The
Africa of a bygone era is further recaptured by the Bushman paintings
some of which are accessible in the reserve and can be viewed on
request. Dating back thousands of years, these rock art paintings
ensure that the cultural legacy of the Khoi San people remains for
years to come.Another unique feature is the massive 200ha New Years
Dam in the heart of the reserve. Originally built as a source of
water for the steam trains, the dam now sustains the wildlife in
the arid Eastern Cape landscape.Interesting features on game drives
include the historical site of the Battle of Death valley and the
Sunset cruises on the New Years Dam |
