WHAT TO DO IN THE AREAThere is much to explore in the surrounding area which is a very diverse region. This area is actually the northernmost range of the Drakensberg with the highest mountain in Limpopo, the Iron Crown towering above the village of Haenertsburg, 6 kms from Cair Paravel. In Haenertsburg there are restaurants, coffee shops, a pub,gift shops, interior design shops, speciality foods, and a health shop, as well as the supermarket, "The Foodzone" which has some interesting deli items as well as all the usual groceries you might need. An ATM is available at the Foodzone. The local petrol station and garage is open from 6 am to 8 pm every day. The nearby Ebenezer Dam offers boating, water skiing, yachting, bass fishing, sunset cruises on a houseboat and the annual Ebenezer Mile swim. There are internationally recognised mountain bike races in the surrounding mountains and forests, and there are many hiking trails. BIRDINGIt is a popular birding destination, with the nearby huge indigenous forest, the Woodbush, home to many rare birds. An EWT trained and qualified birding guide, David Letsoalo, is available for interested parties to book for a bird-tour in the Woodbush. From “Cair Paravel Lakeside Cottages” you can take the R71 down the Magoebaskloof Pass which has spectacular views as you drive down the mountain, through the Sepekoe Tea Estates and into the sub-tropical fruit-growing abundance of Tzaneen. The historical cycad forest at Modjadji's Kloof and the opportunity to ride on elephants are worth a visit. From Tzaneen it only takes one and a half hours to the bushveld via the Phalaborwa gate into the Kruger Park. |
