Cultural Tour

The small town of Grahamstown is a vibrant mix of culture and history that once acted as the frontier between the British Cape Colony and Xhosa territories.
It is sometimes still referred to as ‘frontier country’ or ‘City of Saints’ due to the large number of churches and magnificent Victorian buildings that grace its streets
A tour of this village and its attractions is always a favorite of our guests.

Bushman Painting Hike

A scenic and remote hike into the gorge where you will find ancient San rock art hidden in caves. The curious Bushman rock art portrays daily life, hunting, rituals, spiritual beliefs and wildlife.

These paintings are found only in places protected by the elements, thus making it a hike down into the gorge which takes around 1-2 hours, for those who are advanced hikers the hike can continue to the top of the gorge.
