While the single best thing to do on the farm is simply relax, or so we are told. There are plenty of other activities to keep you busy during your stay: excellent bass fishing, breathtaking hikes, mountain biking, experiencing our mountain snow or taking in our bird life to name but a few. Try to twist the owner's arm for a nighttime rabbit hunt or jump in with the team to help with a harvest, Langdam will open a window to a life that most of the world has forgotten.
Fish in one of our 3 very well stocked dams, one right at the Lapa, one above the Campsite and one on the lower boundary of the farm. We have giant asian grass carp, largemouth bass and bluegill in beautiful clear water from the mountain spring. We offer rods and lures for rent or bring your own gear.
Respecting the wildlife, fish and animals of the farm is very important to us, we therefore ask that you carefully read and follow our fishing policy below.
If you are looking for a new hiking experience in the Western Cape the Langeberg mountains and Langdam is all you need. We have some of the most beautiful hikes in the country in our back garden and we encourage all our guests to try one of our breathtaking trails. Tortoise Trail for those looking for something fairly relaxed, Eagle trail for a half-day push up the mountain or Gecko Trail for a challenging overnight stay.
This stretch of the Langeberg forms part of Traverse 5 the RIM of Africa hike and should not be missed. Think Lions head without the people, or Fish River canyon without the heat. Take a look at our trails maps below, or pop in at the Farm House for directions.
Of the many benefits of regenerative agriculture which we have seen on the farm, the explosion of bird life is one of the most obvious. A sanctuary for all our feathered friends, see Hoopoes, Black eagle, Jackal buzzard, Shrikes, Swallows, Finches, Weavers, Spoonbill, Heron, Blue crane and hundreds more. Let us know when you have a unique sighting and help us build our bird gallery by sharing your photos.
Located over 1000m above sea level Langdam has a unique climate which produces phenomenal wine and fruit and some remarkably cold weather. We experience snow fall several times a year and it is worth keeping an eye on Snow report to see when we are expecting snow. Come out to the farm with all your warmest gear to experience these magical events.
Should you wish to get off the farm and explore the area or you would like a suggestion for restaurants, climbing, sites to see or an extra activity like the famous local tractor rides at Protea farm.
We also have some absolutely mind-blowing star gazing due to the altitude, lack of light pollution and cool dry nights.
For those looking for something a little more exciting, we have a challenging 4x4 route available to the risk-takers out there.
please chat with one of the team who will be happy to point you in the right direction.
