South Africa's Bushmans Kloof Wins Five Tourism Honors
It was named among the Top 50 Africa Resorts in the prestigious Conde Nast Traveler World's Best Awards 2008, and was listed by National Geographic Adventure Magazine as one of the world's Top 50 Eco Lodges for 2008. Locally, it won the Top Tourist Facility on the West Coast for 2008 category in South Africa's third annual West Coast Tourism Gala Awards. With criteria including capturing a unique West Coast experience, benefits to the community, and the number of jobs and the extent of business generated for the West Coast, this pays homage to the vital role Bushmans Kloof plays as the premier wildlife destination and as a prominent, responsible tourism entity in the West Coast region, which stretches over 400 kilometers north of Cape Town.

Finally, Kadoro, the refurbished shepherd's cottage in the heart of the reserve, made it to the top of the list of Top Ten Experiences for 2008 on premier tour operator New Frontiers Tours' list. Kadoro may be booked as an extraordinary dining experience for private groups of up to 12 guests, or a romantic dinner for two. Less than three hours drive from Cape Town, Bushmans Kloof is a 7,500-hectare, five-star ecological oasis, and provides sanctuary to many endangered species of flora and fauna. It is also home to over 130 San Bushman rock art sites and is recognized as one of South Africa's Natural Heritage sites.
