About Us

Bergplaats covers 8500 hectares of pristine Karoo land set against the backdrop of a towering, rugged mountain. The farm accommodates 18 people in its suite of comfortable housing facilities, ranging from the luxurious to the authentic farm-style. The main facility - Gemsbok Lodge - is adjoined by an open air lapa, where guests dine and converse and make merry under the spectacular, star-studded Karoo night sky.

A range of activities awaits the traveller to Bergplaats. Intrepid souls can explore the stunning surrounds on horseback, while adventure-seekers can take to the veldt on one of our four-by-four tracks or quad biking routes. Nothing beats a sunset game drive in pursuit of the various species of antelope, including gemsbok, blue wildebeest, Eland & zebra, that populate the vast tracts of land. Bergplaats offers a world-class hunting experience and boasts its very own on-site butchery, where hunters can participate in the processing of their own meat, should they wish.

    Clay Pigeon Shooting

    Clay pigeon shooting, formally known as Inanimate Bird Shooting, is the art of shooting at special flying targets, known as clay pigeons or clay targets, with a shotgun or any type of firearm. Please bring your own shotgun.

    Target Shooting

    Target Shooting is using either a Rifle, Pistol, Air Pistol or Shotgun to Shoot Pellets / Bullets at a Target. In a safe environment. The Target is either Paper, Card or Electronic for Rifle and Pistol, or for Shotgun the target is called a "bird".

    Night Game Drives

    The Karoo is completely different in the dark. With a spotter and a light we look and listen for the animals, its an amazing experience. Animal behavior is quite different at night so observing the animals in the dark is a big part of any safari.
