Bushman's Kloof Wilderness Reserve Named a "Best Resort in Africa"
Cond'e Nast Traveler's 21st Annual Readers' Choice Awards
OCTOBER 20, 2008. The readers of Cond'e Nast Traveler have named Bushman's Kloof Wilderness Reserve & Retreat in its Best Resort in Africa category, in the magazine's 21st Annual Readers' Choice Awards. The awards are derived from the Cond'e Nast Traveler Readers' Choice Survey, the largest independent poll of consumers' preferences. Over 32,000 readers voted this year.
Less than one hour from Cape Town by private charter plane, or three hours by car, Bushman's Kloof is a five star ecological oasis, a sanctuary to many endangered species of flora and fauna. It is also home to over 130 San bushmen rock art sites and is recognized as one of South Africa's Natural Heritage sites.
Accommodating a maximum of 32 guests, all suites and guests rooms are elegantly appointed and furnished to create a feeling of restfulness and calm.
Bushman's Kloof, member of Relais& Chateaux, is Part of the Red Carnation Hotels collection, which includes properties in London, Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva and Palm Beach. Its sister property, The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa, located just minutes from Cape Town, was ranked Number Two in the Best Hotels in Africa category in the same poll, while The Milestone Hotel, a five-star luxury boutique hotel in London, also in the RCH collection, was voted Best Hotel In The British Isles.
"These awards celebrate the destinations, lodgings, and modes of transportation that manage to exceed our expectations," said Cond'e Nast Traveler Editor in Chief Klara Glowczewska. "The Readers' Choice Awards, with over 32,000 readers voting, are a credit to the worldly expertise of our readers-passionate travelers for whom no island is too remote, no city too challenging, and no hotel too untested."
