Blouberg Cultural Camp
Blouberg Mountains, Limpopo
In a secluded spot below the Blouberg Mountains, this area provides wonderful opportunities for hiking and rock climbing. Adventure travelers who have an interest in local culture can enjoy interactions with locals at taverns in the area.
Blouberg Cultural Camp is situated in the southern foothills of the Blouberg Mountains, and provides a starting point for rock climbers interested in completing this well-known rock face. Foothill hikes through the yellow-wood forest, or climbing to the top of the mountain, are also popular. The camp is popular with birders because it provides easy access to the nearby Blouberg Reserve with its famous Cape Vulture colonies, and an array of game. A short walk to beautiful rock pools for swimming is a wonderful summer refresher.
