Situated 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 convivial 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 near-by Blouberg Reserve with its famous vulture colonies, and an array of game. A short walk to beautiful rock pools for swimming is a wonderful summer refresher.

Visitors interested in meeting the local community can join guides from the camp on an easy walk through the area, and meet the locals at nearby taverns. First stop will be a tavern to meet locals, and experience traditionally brewed beer. If guests have booked a local meal, the group will then move on to the home a local catered where you will be greeted as honored guests and served a traditional banquet. There will be both traditional, as well as western foods on the menu. The evening can then move on to another tavern for post-dinner drinks and will conclude around a camp fire back at camp.
