Setting Description

Nestled within the expansive Karoo Gariep Nature Reserve, Stoffels Rus Log Cabin is surrounded by the vast landscapes of the Upper Karoo. This 8,000-hectare reserve is home to diverse wildlife, including the only hippos in the Karoo. Guests can embark on guided night drives to spot the elusive 'Shy 5' - meerkat, aardvark, porcupine, aardwolf, and bat-eared fox—or enjoy birdwatching and nature walks during the day.

The lodge's location, 8 km off the N1 between Hanover and Colesberg, makes it a convenient halfway point between Cape Town and Johannesburg. The surrounding area offers opportunities for mountain biking, fishing, and exploring KhoiSan rock etchings. With its blend of natural beauty and cultural heritage, Stoffels Rus Log Cabin provides an enriching Karoo experience.
