Bartholomeus Klip Farmhouse is an exclusive country lodge situated on a farm and nature reserve only an hour’s drive from Cape Town, near the winelands.

The glory of Bartholomeus Klip is its 4 000 hectare fynbos nature reserve, with its many rare plant species, its important population of the endangered geometric tortoise, and its herds of eland, springbok, bontebok, black wildebeest and red hartebeest, as well as zebras from the world-famous Quagga Project.

The farm’s enthusiastic nature conservation officer has encouraged the formation of an Eco-Schools Club at a nearby school, which makes regular visits, and leadership camps have been held in the reserve for local high school children.
