Whale season!
The De Hoop Nature Reserve offers some of the most spectacular land-based whale watching in the world between July and November.
The 5-day Whale Trail has fast become the premier “must do” event on any whale watcher’s calendar. Standing on the dunes and Koppie Alleen one can sometimes see (and hear) 50 or more whales.

If you’re planning to visit South Africa for the 2010 World Cup soccer then your timing couldn’t be better to fit in some whale-watching. De Hoop is the place to come and Buchu Bushcamp is the place to stay!
