Slack-packing through the<br />
De Hoop Nature Reserve<br />
Four days of walking and exploring the beauty of the De Hoop Nature Reserve ...<br />
enjoying the wealth of marine, bird and animal life and discovering rare plants.<br />
And at the end of each day’s hike, tucking into gourmet meals and staying over in a<br />
luxurious, comfortable villa. Ramblers dreams are made of this.<br />

Whales ... a fully catered and guided four day, three night experience<br />
where you’ll cover about 38km through the pristine De Hoop Nature<br />
and Marine Reserve. One of the largest natural areas managed by<br />

exploring the Ramsar-listed vlei, wide open spaces, coastal fynbos, and<br />
diverse animal and bird life, including the endangered Cape Vulture<br />
and the very best whale watching.<br />
Guests stay in the De Hoop Collection’s De Mond Villa, a newly<br />
restored and refurbished Villa right on the edge of the Ramsar-listed<br />
vlei. An exclusive blend of authenticity, luxury and comfort, the five<br />
en-suite bedroomed De Mond Villa offers awesome interior decor,<br />
Wi-Fi, a private outside area with barbeque and swimming pool and<br />
the most incredible views. It is completely off the grid (thanks to a<br />
combination of solar and gas facilities) and being right on the edge of<br />
