Reached by country roads and across a chain ferry some way south of the town of Swellendam, De Hoop is remote and beautiful.
Grassy sand dunes lightly coated in fynbos lead down onto a long, white-sand beach, off which whales breach and play during the season.
Wildlife of De Hoop Nature Reserve
As well as the unique fauna there are also several species of antelope and zebra in the reserve, and it is something of a hotspot for bird-watchers.
De Hoop is ideal for those who enjoy a bit of walking, wilderness and being close to wildlife.
