Join our Nuwejaars Wildlife Guided Tours, close to Africa’s southernmost tip – the ONLY tours in the Overberg to provide wildlife experiences with big game like Buffalo and Hippo.
You’ll head into a secret wetland and lake expanse on our game-viewing vehicle, where game, birds and flora flourish. This photographic tour is on private land – and is not otherwise open to the public. The Nuwejaars Wetlands SMA is one of the largest private conservation ventures in the district, sharing a border with the Agulhas National Park.
The Wildlife Guided Tours are led by a trained guide. (And be sure to bring your camera, binoculars, walking shoes, and maybe your raincoat, just in case.)
We host 2 tours a day:
Booking is essential as space is limited on the vehicle.

We are the custodians of natural landscapes that are invaluable in terms of biodiversity, right at Africa’s southernmost tip.
A group of worried landowners and Agulhas Plain residents in South Africa saw how these wetlands started disappearing. And how nature and people suffered.
And so we formed the Nuwejaars Wetlands Special Management Area.
Today we have 25 landowners, and the town of Elim, working together over 46,000 hectares in the Plain, to protect our water systems, and the biodiversity-rich landscapes all around them. The Nuwejaars Wetlands Special Management Area (or SMA) is a new way of protecting nature and all its complex ecosystems on private land in the Overberg municipal region.
To effectively manage, rehabilitate, conserve, and develop the functioning of ecosystem processes and natural and cultural heritage offered within the Core Conservation Areas, Conservation Areas and the greater Nuwejaars Wetlands Special Management Area.
We’ve committed to conservation and sustainable farming by signing title deed restrictions. That means that we’ll forever protect this biodiversity hotspot, while still supporting food security in South Africa through our sustainable farming. While we’ve tested the model here in the Overberg, it’s now being replicated in other parts of South Africa – with wonderful success.
