Description
***Fully booked until end Jan 07***The Matroosberg Reserve is situated on the farm Erfdeel, 35 Km from Ceres. The reserve covers more than 1000 Ha of mountain area, and reaches the Matroosberg Peak, which at the altitude of 2249m, is the highest in the Boland. (About 250m higher than Sneeuberg in the Cedarberg. )

During the winter months, Matroosberg is often covered with snow. After a good snowfall, the Southern slopes remain snow-clad for quite some time and you can drive to the snow. This area is also well known for its private ski-slope.



Abseiling (Rappel) is done on a variety of slopes, from an easy beginners slope to a long overhang. All equipment and tuition is supplied. For the ultimate abseiling and kloofing experience you can take a guided two day adventure through the Groothoek Kloof. It includes pool jumps and 15 abseils with some going straight down waterfalls.

Fishermen can enjoy a large, clear-water farm dam stocked with wide mouth bass.

TEAM BUILDING, FUNCTIONS, GROUP OUTINGS AND CATERING For groups we combine the 4x4 Mountain Safari with catering in our picnic area. (Potjiekos, steaks, braai, breakfasts etc. ). Activities such as abseiling, hiking, waterskiing and snowboarding can be included. We can accommodate groups from 6 to 75 persons.

The 4x4 Trail has an average degree of difficulty and takes you up to 2240m above sea level.
