If you’ve ever doubted that there is magic hidden around every corner of South Africa, pay a visit to Platbos Forest near Hermanus in the Western Cape. This indigenous forest, with its ancient trees, is considered a scientific oddity. The indigenous forest offers a unique experience, an exclusive forest camp allowing you to enjoy the forest area. Stay a night or two at the rustic but exquisite Platbos Forest tented camp. Sheltered and private, you’ll have exclusive use of this corner of the forest. The self-catering facility has no electricity allowing you to completely switch off. Rather, make a fire and enjoy your company.
