Guided walks

The small things
are the whole story.

Guided walks through fynbos and renosterveld in the greater Potberg region. Come and slow your pace to the veld's, with someone who knows what is growing, what was cleared and what is quietly returning. Minimum four guests.

Masses of small white fynbos flowers on fine-leaved shrubs, lit low and warm.

Morning Renosterveld River Walk

2 to 3 hours  ·  Easy

An early walk through renosterveld above the Breede, the rarest and most heavily cleared vegetation in the Cape. Birding, botanicals, the human history of the valley and the medicinal plants still growing on it. We pause in the veld for herbal tea brewed from what is around us, and something to nibble.

Botanical herbal tea and something to nibble in the veld

R550 per person, minimum 4

Two pale purple orchid flowers on a single stem, standing above dry fynbos.

Afternoon Fynbos Walk

2 to 3 hours  ·  Easy

A gentle afternoon route through fynbos, timed so the light is low on the way back. Proteas and ericas, the birds that feed on them, and the stories the slopes hold. We pause in the veld: a cold gin and tonic, somewhere comfortable to sit, a beautiful view and no hurry to leave.

Full Day Guided Experience

Two walks, one day  ·  At your group's pace

Both walks in one day, with a long lunch in between. We shape the route and the pace around what your group wants, whether that is botany, birds, photography or simply a day outside without a schedule.

A generous packed lunch between the two walks

More ways to walk

Two walks we arrange around you, or around the tide. Tell us what you have in mind and we will come back with dates and a price.

Private Walk

Half day or full day  ·  Built around your group

One subject, taken slowly. Medicinal plants, birds, photography, the human history of the valley; tell us what you're after and we will build the walk around it.

Price on request

Coastal Walk

2 to 3 hours, timed to low tide  ·  Easy, some rock underfoot

A walk on the Overberg coast, timed for the lowest tides of the day, when the rock pools open up. Anemones, starfish, small fish and everything else the tide leaves behind, with Matt, who grew up in the ocean. Dates follow the tide tables, so there are only a few each month.

Your guides

Matt and Jade

Every walk is guided directly by two of our founders, Matt and Jade, with years spent leading guest experiences across South Africa, from intertidal rock pools and medicinal plant walks to the ancient coastlines where our species first walked. We invite you into the heart of Cape fynbos and renosterveld to slow down, cultivate wonder, and rediscover a profound connection with the living world.

Matt

An ocean boy at heart with natural instincts by nature: surfer, photographer, fisherman, and diver. Matt is a gentle soul who brings vivid focus to the small things that often go unnoticed. Exploring the natural world with him uncovers a mystical world of life you've likely never seen before.

Jade

A bush baby at heart: photographer, yogi, plant fanatic, painter, and lover of the open air. Jade embodies a deep, intuitive connection to the earth. Wandering the veld with her transforms the journey: every light-footed step, rustling leaf, and distant bird call is savoured, revealing the quiet interconnectedness of the living world.
