Activities
There are a host of activities to enjoy when you visit the Rooiberg Breede River Conservancy – just two hours from Cape Town.
This area caters for everyone, from the super fit who are keen to traverse mountains, to our more relaxed visitors, who are here to explore in style.
Game viewing
Enjoy your own game drive or game walk when you stay in the Amandalia Cottages, the home of Saggy Stone Brewery. Stroll past eland, zebras, springbuck and wildebeest. And enjoy wonderful mountain vistas along the way.
Birding
Come bird in the Rooiberg region – and enjoy our incredible bird diversity, from the small sunbirds to the big bustards and majestic eagles. We’re home to species such as Pale Chanting Goshawk, Kori Bustards, Verreaux’s Eagles, Southern Double-collared Sunbirds, and hundreds more. Stay over at many of the accommodation offerings to enjoy birding adventures. Get in touch with the venue owners for more.
Mountain biking
Many of our members offer challenging mountain biking adventures. Roam Rooiberg’s mountain biking routes allow you to explore the area. These professionally designed routes offer a real challenge to the experienced rider, while still being enjoyable for the riders starting out. They even offer a 150m kiddies cycle trail for the youngsters. Rental bikes are available. MORE HERE

You don’t have to live in the conservancy to understand just how important this natural world is. If we lose it, we lose entire ecosystems – forever. There are many ways to get involved; and many reasons to do so.
