Bitterfontein

Situated in the Knersvlakte, the northernmost area of the Western Cape, the settlement of Bitterfontein is a tranquil getaway-town where nature and community take centre stage. The quartz plains of the Knersvlakte are swathed in more than 1300 species of tiny succulents, creating an incredible world-in-miniature to explore. Animal and wildlife lovers will delight in spotting animals such as the Cape honey badger, black-backed jackal, Martial eagles, aardwolf, bat-eared fox, and a variety of birdlife species. Popular activities among the community include baking delicious traditional ‘Soetsuurdeeg' bread in clay ovens. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the Bitterfontein Traditional Dance Group, a community-based dance project for local youth.
