Mieliefontein Guest Farm  Verified Listing

The KhoiSan Karoo Conservancy (8 000 ha), for the Karoo Hippo, is between Colesberg and Hanover. We are 8 km off the N1 highway and perfectly situated between Cape Town and Johannesburg, Upington (Kalahari) and PE or the Garden Route. This makes us the perfect halfway point in South Africa.
We pay special attention to nature and the outdoors. You can explore the central Karoo using us as a base. We have the Seekoei (Hippo) Valley Meander which connects New Bethesda to Hanover and Colesberg by dirt road. These roads can be enjoyed by car as well as on mountain bikes. Visit Orania and the Van Der Kloof Dam. Go to see a Suricate Colony responding to the farmers calls (A suricate or meerkat is a small mongoose found in Southern Africa). Local tours and activities are listed on our website and take place from New Holme Nature Lodge and we all work together in communal accord. Our activities at New Holme- 20min from Mieliefontein - include early morning birding drives, walks, horse riding, clear skies and bright stars for stargazing from our star deck, hippo drives, KhoiSan etchings, mountain bike trails, a swimming pool and more.
