Travel + Leisure says..."THE SETTING 18,000 acres in the foothills of the Cedar Mountains.GREEN FACTOR When Bill McAdam purchased the vast tract of wilderness in 1991, the property was a virtual wasteland of overgrazed veld. Today, the Kloof blooms with 800 tree and plant species, down to rarities like the Clanwilliam cedar. Threatened wildlife has come thundering back, too, including red hartebeests, black wildebeests, bontebok, aardwolves, 150 rare birds, and one of the largest private herds of endangered Cape mountain zebras in the world. More than 130 ancient rock-art sites dating back 10,000 years are also safeguarded in their natural environment. After a day in the wild, it's nice to know that the 16-room Relais & Chteaux lodge has hand-sewn bed linens." -From Travel + Leisure
Conde Nast Traveler says..."Riding mountain bikes past zebras is the right way to start the day at this rehabilitated farmstead. Light-filled contemporary rooms have outdoor showers. Meals at Makana draw from native fynbos herbs and local meat. Affable staff "offer great insight into the native culture and historya they elevate the spirit." The 18,500-acre reserve is home to more than 130 tribal rock art sites." -From Conde Nast Traveler
