Why
is it good for the birder?
Buchu Bush Camp is situated on the edge of De Hoop Nature
Reserve, the largest nature reserve in the Western Cape
and well-known for offering such species as Stanley's Bustard
and the Cape's only breeding colony of Cape Vultures. However,
there is also top-quality birding right around the camp:
Hottentot Buttonquail occurs in the fynbos around the camp,
Southern Tchragra in the thickets adjacent to the restaurant
and Agulhas Clapper Lark a short walk away.
Your hosts:
Rory and Eileen Allardice and their team.
Accommodation:
Comfortable wooden chalets on stilts above the fynbos, connected
by a boardwalk to the restaurant.
Rates:
R550 per chalet per night. Meals can be ordered separately
in the restaurant.
Meal Costs: Breakfast - R30 - R45, Lunch - R35 to R60, Dinner
- From R105.
