Baviaanskloof - Zandvlakte Farm can be reached from either Uniondale or Willomore in the west, and Patensie in the east.
The jewel of South Africas wilderness area, the Baviaanskloof Conservancy, borders the historical property, Zandvlakte, in the centre of the Baviaanskloof Valley. The area is internationally well-known for its biodiversity. Relics of ancient cultures are still hidden in these vast mountain ranges. You will feel like you are everywhere and nowhere at the same time.
A remote community, mostly unplugged from the buzz of the world, live in harmony with their surroundings and is defined by their unique lifestyle within these remote mountains.
To reach the destination is in itself a unique experience and must be absorbed by an unhurried spirit. The R332-road, or T1, is one of the major adventures, being the last pass that was built by the legendary Thomas Baines.
At Baviaanskloof - Zandvlakte Farm relaxation is not a business, it`s a way of life. Enjoy home cooking and real farm hospitality. It is really the place to get truly unplugged.
