The Baviaans area encompasses the Baviaanskloof and the Karoo towns of Willowmore and Steytlerville in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.

Known for small stock farming and for the richness of its endemic plant species, its interesting cultural heritage and its abundance of bird and animal life, the Baviaans area holds ample opportunity for outdoor recreation.

It is also the gateway to the Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area a World heritage site.

Due to its rugged nature, the Baviaanskloof, Steytlerville, Willowmore, Cambria and Wolwefontein areas caters for both the adventurous and the less adventurous tourist. Visit our "what to do page" to read more.

Please note that certain parts of the Baviaanskloof Road (within the Wilderness Area) are not suitable for sedan vehicles and small LDVs.

Most of the establishments listed on this website, however, can be reached with sedan cars since the problem stretch of road is located in the middle.

Provided you enter from the direction closest to your destination you will therefore be OK.

Be safe and phone ahead to enquire and remember to drive carefully, whatever vehicle you use.
