Day 2

Featherbed Eco-Experience including Buffet Lunch

This pristine piece of paradise situated on the Western Head of Knysna is a privately-owned, registered Nature Reserve and a South African Heritage Site. In order to protect the splendour of the natural beauty, access to the reserve is controlled. Visits are only permitted in the company of the reserve's specialist guides.

The Featherbed Nature Reserve offers a Knysna adventure activity not to be missed. The eco-tour begins with a cruise across the Knysna estuary. On arrival at the nature reserve, guests will enjoy a 4x4 Unimog and trailer ride to the top of the Western Head. Here, the optional 2.2 kilometre downhill guided walk will begin, passing through Milkwood forests onto the steep sandstone cliffs, into ancient Khoi-San sea caves and along a scenic coastal path fringed with aromatic fynbos. Your guide will inform you on the fauna, flora and bird life in the reserve. On the coastal walk back, you can often spot the resident Black African Oyster Catcher, one of the rarest coastal birds in South Africa.

The Food Forest Restaurant is situated on the edge of the Lagoon under a canopy of Milkwood trees where we serve the most sumptuous buffet lunch fit for a king.
