and its now called BergVenture. This beautiful sandstone building looks onto the Sterkspruit waterfall and consists of a central public area with two opposite “wings” where you will find the dorms,bathrooms and en-suite flats. This beautiful location feels cut-off from the every day world, but in reality its just a comfortable 5 min ride on tar from the nearest shop/attraction.On the farm we have wildlife such as; Zebra, Wildebeest, Springbok, Blesbok, Bush Pig, Red Hartebeest and Porcupine to name but a few. The farm is also a registered site of conservation significance thanks to the San rock paintings in the caves on the property. We always invite teachers / representatives from school / youth groups for a free no-obligation site inspection. We provide a 6 sleeper self-catering chalet for your family for the weekend. All we ask is an hour of your time to introduce you to our great brand. Bergventure Youth / School
