Explore the Conservancy
Wander forest paths, grassy trails and stream-side tracks right from the cottage door.
Swim in natural rivers
Dip into the Nsonge River or soak at Cascades - a beautiful rock pool upstream.
Bushman paintings
Explore ancient San art sites hidden in nearby caves - just ask for directions.
Bird watching
Add cranes, lammergeiers, secretary birds and more to your birding journal.
Wildlife sightings
Look out for eland, zebra, serval, porcupine, baboons, otter and more.
Mountain biking
Ride the scenic farm roads or explore routes near Kamberg and Giants Castle.
Fishing
Crane Valley Conservancy (CVC) hosts five private, well-stocked trout dams and several fishable kilometers of the Nsonge River. Managed by the CVC Fishing Club, the waters are stocked generously each year with both rainbow and brown trout.
Two of the dams (Dam 4 and Trophy Dam) are catch-and-release only. Trophy Dam, fed by the Nsonge River, is members-only and home to naturally spawning brown trout - considered the jewel of Kamberg by many anglers.
