Children visiting Grootbos are very important individuals, with their own ideas and desires. We understand this and therefore take great care to keep our little guests happy! At Grootbos Nature Reserve the children's activities are not just activities they are a combination of education and fun in our wonderful nature setting.
Our tailor-made children's program is about inspiring, educating, enthusing and exhilarating the children to make them curious of what is coming next and to ensure that they spend an exciting, interesting and enjoyable time with us.
We cater for their physical well-being with special children's menus as well as refreshments and snacks during the activities. Our special children's turndown ends an exciting and fun filled day. Now it's time for a good night's sleep so that the children are ready for the following day's adventures.
The Play Ground at Grootbos is a kiddie's paradise and some parents only see their children during meal times. Located next to our horse stables, children can explore their natural surroundings while playing with fluffy bunnies, our domestic pig "Emma" or our ducks.
Our little guests love collecting their own breakfast eggs laid by our free-range chickens after they have fed our horses with fresh produce from our own vegetable garden.
There is always one of our specialized guides to supervise the children at the playground.
Specialized guides accompany the children during exciting treasure hunts through the Milkwood Forest, where they will also learn about the amazing web of life linking the Milkwood trees to so many other organisms within the forest.
The dense canopy is home to many bird species, including the Barthroated Apalis, the Cape Batis and Rameron Pigeon, whilst the forest floor is crossed by trails of the bushbuck, porcupine, golden mole and other forest creatures.
The treasure hunt covers easy terrain and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete.
The treasure hunt is suitable for all age groups.
