Back to nature

THE SETTING

Tucked away in the heart of the Eastern Cape bush, Ford Outpost offers a secluded escape surrounded by acacia thickets and endless starry skies. This unspoiled setting is free of malaria and far from the crowds — a peaceful, off-grid retreat where nature takes centre stage.
