Bushmans Kloof

What better way to start the year, than by flying a PC-12 to Bushmans Kloof (near Clanwilliam).
I don’t have much time to write blog posts these days, so this one is going to have more photos than writing.

In short, I got to fly in the right seat on a charter to Bushmans Kloof, and we spent a day and a half, and a night there. We were treated to excellent food and a stunning view. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, and I felt like I was on holiday.


There was a long line of aircraft waiting to get airborne in the rather dreary weather

A river no more than 50m from the cottages

A large deck with a 'kitchen' area (braai and wood oven), and fire area, nestled in the mountains, was the venue for a traditional South African dinner.

The dam outside some of the cottages.
