Product Description

The Farm And Game Reserve
Kammanassie Blue is situated in the majestic Klein Karoo between the Stompdrift Dam and the Kammanassie Range Nature Reserve in the Western Cape. It’s a 15 minute drive (±12km) on good gravel roads from the closest town De Rust, a 40 minute (±50km) drive from Oudtshoorn and a 90 minute (±105km) drive from George. A small portion of the farm is utilised for commercial farming of wine grapes, olive orchards and pecan nuts while the remaining ±6300 hectares of pristine Klein Karoo bushveld form the Game Reserve and hunting area with spectacular scenery of giant mountains, open plains, acacia forests and deep green kloofs.

Bush camp & Accommodation
The luxurious bush camp’s panoramic view of the Swartberg mountain range is unmatched. It consists of a large open plan self-catering kitchen/bar/dining area, two en-suite thatched chalets plus an additional three double rooms serviced by an outdoor ablution block which can accommodate up to 12 hunters or observers very comfortably. Ceiling fans, gas heaters and charging points are provided in all rooms. For your evenings around the campfire, there is a large outdoor boma area with camp chairs where you can relax and braai and even take a dip in the splash pool. The pool and all walkways are automatically lit at night to ensure ease of movement throughout the camp in the evenings. The camp runs on solar power with adequate battery power back up to always ensure sufficient power. Cell phone signal for most service providers is available at the camp and at certain spots in the hunting area. The kitchen is fully equipped with cutlery, crockery, and all cooking utensils plus a large modern stand-up fridge to keep your food & drinks cold. Other kitchen appliances include a modern gas stove, chest freezer, ice machine & toaster. Up-market clean linen and bath towels are provided for every group and two cleaning staff will service the camp every day during your stay.

Hunting
Hunting such a vast undisturbed wilderness is a unique experience and to ensure success, hunters are guided by our hunting guides who are extremely proficient hunters in this area. Most of the hunting on the farm is done on foot and due to the mountainous terrain, a fair level of fitness is required. Silencers on rifles are encouraged if possible and no shots may be taken from or near vehicles. Our hunting season will open in April 2024 and close at the end of September 2024. The minimum stay for hunters is 3 nights to allow for two full days hunting.
