Endlovana mountainbiking and hiking trails -“Place of the small elephant”
Surrounded by six kilometres of pristine beach, Cape Coastal forest and fynbos, a unique luxurious tented hideaway awaits in an enchanting unspoilt haven.
This privately owned 84-hectare nature reserve nestled between Buffelsbaai and the quaint town of Knysna offers an unforgettable experience for nature lovers.
Inspired by nature and pygmy elephants that are believed to have roamed the coastal forests more than 400 years ago, the owners of Endlovana (Xhosa for 'Place of the Small Elephant’) have created a restful place that blends completely with the tranquil surroundings, broken only by birdsong and crashing waves.
The magic of this hideaway is that the camp is booked for your exclusive use, making it a perfect retreat for families, a safe place for a special group of friends to unwind, a romantic holiday for two or a getaway for a small business group.

Each tent sleeps two people and has its own rustic forest bathroom.
Additional tents can be erected on adjoining wooden decks for larger groups or families with children.
