The Ultimate Family Adventure
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 Family Fun Package 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.
Specialized guides accompany the children during exciting treasure hunts, excursions to the beach, the rock pools and trips through the reserve. The children get familiar with our fascinating eco-system and the history of the area. Picture Frame or Shell Bracelet Making are great activities to inspire their creativity and to give them a lifelong memory to take back home. While exploring their immediate and natural environment they can collect shells, porcupine quills or bugs, which will be brought back to their own activities rooms for exciting identification. At the same time we teach the children not to destroy or interfere in the natural habitats that they can find everywhere.
We cater for their physical well-being with special children’s menus as well as refreshments and snacks during the activities.
The central theme of the Family Fun Package is a combination of the Marine Environment along the South coast of the Western Cape as well as the incredible fynbos vegetation.
The three main aspects are:
- The physical marine and floral environment
- Historical uses of the coastline
-
Conservation
