As we traversed the rugged, uneven dirt road, drawing nearer to the majestic Langeberg mountains, the familiar blue signage of Capenatue indicated a mere 6 kilometres remaining, instilling within us a sense of anticipation to once again immerse ourselves amidst the Champion Redwoods of the Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve. Its recent designation as a World Heritage Site is noteworthy.
The vast mountains were veiled by thick mist, accompanied by a gentle drizzle and a palpable chill in the air. Upon passing through the inviting entrance gates of the reserve, the fragrance of the forest enveloped us.
We had reserved a tented deck in the Glamping section a year prior, and owing to the burgeoning popularity of this recent addition to Capenature’s offerings at Grootvadersbosch, we eagerly retrieved our keys from reception.
