{"product_id":"south-africa-western-cape-bontebok-national-park","title":"Bontebok National Park","description":"\u003cp\u003eBontebok National Park sits near Swellendam in the Western Cape, protecting the endangered bontebok antelope across twenty-seven square kilometres. Established in 1931, it is one of South Africa’s oldest national parks. The bontebok, once on the brink of extinction, now thrives here alongside other wildlife such as cape mountain zebra and grey rhebok.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou explore the park on hiking trails, by birdwatching, and on game drives. The Langeberg Mountains frame the landscape, which includes the Breede River, though trails and viewing decks along the river were damaged by flooding in May 2026 and remain closed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe park is home to eleven mammal species and two hundred and five bird species. Birdwatching is a key activity, with trails designed to bring you close to the wildlife without disturbing it. The park’s small size makes it easy to cover in a day, though its biodiversity rewards longer stays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Breede River runs through the park, shaping its ecology and drawing wildlife. It is the reason the park is here at all, though its recent flooding has temporarily altered access to some areas.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932462907612,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/bontebok-national-park-national-park-swellendam-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783202455","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-western-cape-bontebok-national-park","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
