THE KEURBOOMS RIVER NATURE RESERVE: The Keurbooms Estuary is one of the most beautiful examples of an estuary along the coast. The headwaters of the Keurbooms River come from the Langkloof, north of the main Tsitsikamma Mountain range. The Keurbooms River flows for a distance of 60km, of which 12km is navigable by boat and is made up of a tidal flow. The Keurbooms River Nature Reserve stretches over a distance of 2500 hectares.
THE RIVER SAFARI: Experience the majesty as the ferries glide over shimmering waters, through souring gorges of the unspoilt Keurbooms River Nature Reserve.
Celebrate an eco-experience and savour the sights and sounds unique to this splendid area. Stop and hear the sounds of lyrical birdcalls and view our mammal species from this majestic river.
Our qualified skippers and guides will point out and identify the rich diversity of bird life occurring along the river, the 'nursery' areas for many fish species, the specific habitats of the land mammals, and the intricate workings of the indigenous forest.
Once our 5km destination has been reached, we stop on a natural-formed river beach where you are able to explore the forest up close by strolling through pristine canopies of towering Yellowwoods and other indigenous trees. Then, relax on a soft sand beach touched by tranquil amber waters in which you can refresh yourself before our return to civilisation.
