Grootbos Private Nature Reserve is a luxury eco-tourism product, set in the Overberg region in the Western Cape of South Africa. Grootbos has stood for an inclusive, shared model of tourism since its inception. In 2003 this was formalised with the creation of the Grootbos Foundation.
The Grootbos Foundation actively drives the community, conservation and culture aspects of the Grootbos vision. This vision can be summarised as, the conservation of the Cape Floral Kingdom and the upliftment of the community therein. The Grootbos Foundation and Grootbos Private Nature Reserve share a symbiotic relationship and the longevity and impact achieved, is testimony to the shared passion and commitment to sustainability or ‘Progressive Tourism’.

Our reserve offers you the chance to immerse yourself in the unique fynbos kingdom and ancient forest of Grootbos, featuring 922 plant species, 118 bird species, 29 mammals and 21 amphibians – some of which are under threat of extinction.
