Kouga Wilderness is a family run farm and the Ferreiras has been living on “Kleinrivier” since 1815. It is a working farm with apricots, citrus, sheep and vegetables. You can enjoy nature in the scenic Kouga mountains on the border of the Baviaanskloof World Heritage site. The farm was originally split up into 3 parts, “Onderplaas”, “Kleinrivier” and “Bo-plaas”. Bo-plaas became the property of Nic

o and Melodie Ferreira in 1988. On this part there was an old farm house that was sadly falling apart. The idea of having a guest house started here, but was only realised in 2000 when the house was finally restored to its formed beauty. Soon after the owners had their first visitors it became a hot spot for mountain climbers, hikers and nature lovers. In 2004 the ablution facilities was built and 8 camp-sites was put up under the shades of 4 big old oak trees. In 2005 a big lapa followed where there have been many weddings since. In 2007 the owners decided to built the “River chalet” and in 2008 the “Heuningkrans chalet” followed. Numerous adventure activities are offered including spectacular hiking trails, 4×4 routes, scenic drives, kloofing, mountain bike routes, fishing, abseiling and rock climbing. Farming activities can be observed at close quarters and is particularly interesting during harvesting time from December till mid- February when sun-drying of fruit is in progress. Swim in natural crystal clear pools or in our freshwater swimming pool on the terrain, or try catching Black Bass in nearby Kouga River. Explore the mountain streams in search for the rare and nearly extinct redwing fish or the very scarce, indigenous Galaxias Zebratus, peculiar to this area or identify some of the variety of birds seen on the farm such as the Fish eagle, Knysna- and Vleiloerie. some of the variety of birds seen on the farm such as the Fish eagle, Knysna- and Vleiloerie.

Beautiful Sunday hike with mom and Keith to Tiergrot this past Sunday. Winter is the perfect time for beautiful explorations in the mountains. This place has so much to offer and we are so grateful to be able to share it.

The sun is shining....the bridges are open and life begins to return back to normal here. Keith is out fixing farm roads and getting things ready for operation again and we look forward to welcoming our precious guests back. The road from Joubertina is currently passable and does not require 4x4, but low carriage vehicles will not make it. Drive slowly and we will keep you updated

Aan almal wat liefde en omgee gedeel het die laaste week...Baie dankie.❤️ Hier by Kouga Wildernis is ons veilig met net n bietjie pad skade, maar met n swaar hart deel ons dat ons kinders in Gamtoos erg skade gelei het onder die vloede. Ons vra asb dat julle die link onder deel sodat ons saam kan staan om hulle weer op hulle voete te kry.

To all our beautiful, concerned guests. Thank you for checking on us and for all your care and concern. Below are photos of the entrance to the farm, over the little log bridge, from Thursday to yesterday. We are safe. Our staff are safe, and so is everything else on the farm. There is no power, and some water issues, but nothing Keith can't handle :-) The bridges and roads have washed badly, as you will no doubt have seen, and we won't be able to get out for a while. The landscape has been indelibly changed, and we are not sure how long things will take to return to normal, but we will keep you updated.
