Less than two hours away from South Africa’s Cape Town lies the magical region of the Overberg. A unique landscape of fynbos covered contours and beautifully textured coastlines. In the heart of this majestic floral kingdom is a private nature reserve dedicated to sustaining this delicate world heritage site for generations to come.

Every year one particular plant transforms the landscape into a canvas of unbelievable pink. Found nowhere else in the world, this rare Erica irregularis joins in as the whole wilderness comes alive. Enjoy bird watching while animals and insects feast on the flowers, ancient Milkwoods glow with vitality in the morning dew, the crystal clear ocean bustles with marine life and ever-changing clouds paint sunsets across the endless horizon. This is the Secret Season at Grootbos Private Nature Reserve.
