On The Fly

Nature-Based Holidays That Work for Every Age

There’s something very special about stepping into the bushveld and leaving the rush of everyday life behind. At Doornkop Fish & Wildlife Resort, nature takes center stage. From quiet dams and rolling hills to wildlife encounters and peaceful hiking trails, there is something for everyone to enjoy. It’s the kind of place where every member of the family, from grandparents to little ones, can find their own version of relaxation and adventure. Nature doesn’t just entertain, it reconnects, rejuvenates, and inspires.

Peace and Freedom in the Open Air

Wide open spaces are a gift in today’s busy world. At Doornkop, children can run, explore, and discover without boundaries, while adults find pockets of calm for reading, reflecting, or simply watching the sun rise over the water. The natural landscape encourages curiosity, independence, and togetherness without feeling forced.

Adventures That Engage Every Generation

Whether you’re keen on fly fishing across the eight dams, taking scenic walks along hiking trails, or exploring the terrain on a mountain bike, there’s something to keep everyone active and entertained. Even simple moments like spotting a zebra, listening to bird calls, or watching the sunset over the hills become lasting memories.

Comfortable Stays That Feel Like Home

The resort’s self-catering units provide a base that balances comfort with flexibility. Families and groups can cook together, gather for meals, or retreat to private spaces when needed. The accommodation supports unhurried days and quality family time, letting guests focus on what matters most.

Connecting Through Nature

One of the joys of a nature-based holiday is how effortlessly it brings people together. Shared activities, like fishing at the dam, evening braais, or a leisurely stroll through the bush, allow families to connect naturally. Conversations flow, laughter happens, and moments of quiet reflection are all part of the experience.

Nature has a way of slowing time and sharpening focus on the things that really matter. At Doornkop Fish & Wildlife Resort, this is the core of the experience: not just escaping from the everyday, but discovering connection, rest, and simple joy.

Take the opportunity to step away, breathe deeply, and reconnect with the people you love. Doornkop Fish & Wildlife Resort is ready to welcome you for a holiday that nurtures every generation and leaves everyone feeling refreshed and inspired.
