Then we'll branch off and take a mountain pass towards Kynsa, and then on to Wilderness. So it's
quite a long detour, normally it would take just over an hour, probably take us about three hours.
And here's the hot tub. I'm sure we're gonna get it going, but now we're gonna unpack the car.
Each Africamps that we visit
has just got something special. No matter what you think you know and what you expect,
there's always just that different vibe, that different atmosphere. And the guys that created
these camps have absolutely shown such an amazing intuition in choosing what people actually want.
How could you not want this? Oakhurst is is a working dairy farm, it's quite a large one in
fact, 640 hectares, which is owned and run by Jake and Claire Crowther. But I mean you can see, there's
these rolling green fields, there's cows grazing in the field. There's a river, there's dams if you want
to go fishing, try your hand at catching a bass. Birgit caught one, I didn't, anyway! Walking trails,
There's a really nice walking trail through the forest, very shady. Archery. There's mountain biking trail.
There's swimming, there's horse riding, there's no end of activities on the farm. You just ask at the
reception and they'll arrange it. So we're taking a walk in the Woodville Forest, to see the Big Tree,
and if you're lucky you may even see an elusive Knysna Loerie.
And this is an Outeniqua Yellow Wood.
It's about 800 years old, this tree was about 400 years old already when Henry VIII was
King of England, and it was five hundred years old when Jan Van Riebeck arrived at The Cape.
I f you are gonna take a bit of a drive from Oakhurst, I can really recommend, instead of getting onto the
tar road back to Wilderness, if you want to go into Wilderness village, take the turn off just before
you get to tows Touwsranten, the residential area. It's a gravel road, but it's not a bad road. You
go along a part of the Seven Passes route which is the one that we're on now. Done a video of
this whole trip so you can... I'll put a link up. Take a little trip to the Map of Africa. We have
quite a bit of mist you can't really see it, maybe have to take my word for it ;-) East coast. West coast.
But it's still a very beautiful view. Another thing that's not happening today,
paragliding. This is where the paragliding happens, and it looks really awesome. So if you're into
adventure, it's very close to Oakhurst. On a nice day, this field you know, there's a lot
of paragliders. Wilderness beach is down there, you could just maybe see it, and they land on the beach.
The village green.
This looks open, which is good.
The Girls on the Square and we'll just go for Tapas.
Knysna Waterfront.
Not only a restaurant, there's a whole shop here, far more than
what they used to have. This is what interests me, the wine selection.
All the Africamps are really well equipped, but
this Oakhurst just got those little touches that we haven't seen yet.
A bit of farm fresh milk, and you can actually see the cream on this milk. Really guys well done!
We were here a couple of years ago when they really first opened, and for me it's only improved.
