The De Hoop Nature Reserve is a 34,000-hectare reserve in the Western Cape Province in South Africa.
You can get in only by car or 4x4 if wet. The best road to take is the one from Swellendam. Note that there are only gravel roads from Swellendam to the De Hoop, so you will not be able to drive at very high speeds.
