About this place
Keurbooms River Nature Reserve is an exquisite, small World Heritage Site of just 740 hectares in the lush Garden Route just outside Plettenberg Bay. The Keurbooms River winds down from the Tsitsikamma Mountains through an unspoilt forested gorge to a beautiful estuary, promising an undiluted nature experience of indigenous forest, protected kloofs and quiet water.
The reserve is best explored by water. Visitors paddle and canoe upriver through the gorge, fish, picnic and walk the riverbank trails, with the famous Whiskey Creek canoe trail leading to a secluded riverside cabin reached only by water or on foot.
The self-catering Whiskey Creek Cabin offers a genuine away-from-it-all river escape for paddlers and small groups, deep in the reserve and far from any road.

What lives at Keurbooms River Nature Reserve
193 birds recorded here or nearby.
The birding year here7 of 193 are at their peak in October
Nothing is hidden: in-season birds simply move to the front. Months come from national records, not from this garden.
These are records, not promises. Wild animals and birds move, so sightings are never guaranteed.
