Invitation for the unexpected in South Africa
Entry 1 of 7 | show all | print this entry |
We, two Dutch, are the proud owners of South Africa's own Primary Unusual Attraction.
Not a mass-tourism attraction, or tourist trap as some migh call it, but the real thing; plain, pure and without the banter of craftshops (Made in China), coffee corners and restaurants.
Soekershof Walkabout is situated in Klaas Voogds West; 8 kilometres East of Robertson along Route 62. Turn into this gravel road. After one kilometre there is first a cactus nursery and 200 metres further is the entrance of Soekershof Walkabout. Visitors are welcomed by two elephants.
We grow and cultivate succulent plants fully organically without the use of fertilisers and chemicals. Our gardens are the only ones with more than 2400 different succulent plants from all over the world under the open sky and not under cover of a roof or shade cloth.
Locally we are best known for our Klaas Voogds Maze; with 13,870 square metres net surface the largest hedge-maze in the world. Not a usual maze in which to have to get lost but one with stories visualised with objects towering above the hedges and each representing local folklore. Get to know the real South Africa!!
And, for the concious traveller, Soekershof is one of the 30 tourism businesses in South Africa with a certificate of Fair Trade in Tourism in South Africa.
After travelling all over the world we decided to make our own world and you're invited for the unexpected.
