Ten kilometres east of Robertson, in Klaas Voogds West, is a haven of calm and relaxation. Soekershof Private Mazes and Gardens provides enchantment and entertainment for all ages, including local folklore, flower tastings, the largest succulent garden – around 2500 different species from all continents – in South Africa, a nursery, and unexpected surprises at every turn. Bring your own picnic and enjoy a feast in the gardens before moving on the next adventure. Soekershof is the breeding place of the South African cactus trade (cactus pioneer Marthinus Malherbe and his wife are buried in one of the gardens) and all plants are organically cultivated without the use of chemicals. The 4km Klaas Voogds Maze distinguishes itself with visualised local folklore. Orientating beacons tower above the hedges and invite you to continuously find your next story or even make up your own, while finding the artefacts of a cycling Dutchman and a womanising German. You’ll leave with a smile on your face and a souvenir in your pocket. This is the ideal venue for family outings, weddings, film shoots, team building, night adventures, etc.

When last did you climb a tree? Usually reserved for children and perky cats, climbing a tree will stretch your limbs and give you a refreshing new perspective on the ground beneath your feet... call it a bird’s-eye view without needing wings.
