Flora abounds in the area.  The Drakensberg mountains harbour in excess of 3 000 species of flora (more than 10 percent of the plant diversity of southern Africa) of which are best viewed from December to February. The area is also home to more than 230 bird species. Bird watching offer anything from majestic raptors to exquisite little thrushes!

Walking and exploring the farm and surrounding areas, offers guests the opportunity to find many interesting places. A number of different walking/hiking trails are available to enjoy. 

KINMEL GUEST FARM is the perfect ground zero for getting ready to take on a variety of some of our countries most spectacular mountain passes.  

When the conditions are right, the Southern Drakensberg mountains are a fly-fisher's dream.  The clean, cold mounatin streams and dams ensure ideal conditions for yellowfish and trout.  The region still offers the possibility of undiscovered fishing sites, with fish that are exceptional in size and condition, and some of the country's best sight-fishing locations for Smallmouth and Largemouth Yellowfish as well as Rainbow Trout. 

During winter time we often have snow on the farm and we offer our guests the opportunity to spend some time in a winter wonderland of snow.  Kinmel Guest Farm is perfectly situated to stay over on your way, or use as a base for day visits to Tiffindell ski resort.
