Tracks and Trails

We cherish our time in the veld—breathing in the fresh air, taking in the vast landscapes, and observing the rich wildlife. We love sharing that experience with the hikers, runners and cyclists who visit Platbakkies. That’s why we’ve carefully mapped out a variety of trails for you to explore at your own pace.

For a deeper adventure, join one of our guided wildlife tours on an unforgettable journey through our wild camp. Discover a fascinating world of rare and endemic succulents, diverse wildlife, ancient volcanic pipes, and more. With our knowledgeable guide leading the way, you’ll gain insight into the hidden wonders of this rugged, untamed landscape.

A Day with the Farmer

Rising with the sun, savoring a freshly brewed cup of coffee, and stepping outside to embrace the crisp morning air as the golden light spills over a breathtaking Boesmanland farm… Just another day in the life of Farmer Dawie! But farm life isn’t always so serene—it’s a mix of hard work, unpredictability, and adventure. We invite you to step into this world, experience its challenges and rewards, and connect with the raw beauty of life on the land.

Rest, Reflect and Reconnect

If you’re longing to escape the relentless pace of daily life, we invite you to slow down and savor the simple joys of farm living. Spend your days lost in a good book under the warm sun, wander leisurely through the farmyard, and let your evenings be filled with the breathtaking spectacle of the Milky Way stretching across the night sky. This is your chance to quiet the noise, breathe deeply, and rediscover the still, small voice within.
