Minwater welcomes day visitors for interpretative nature tours with Louis Jordaan. We no longer offer camping and 4 x 4 trails, but Louis has started traveling further afield to offer talks and environmental education. His presentations are a delight for the amateur and the specialist and kids love his stories :)

Louis Jordaan is an expert on the fauna and flora of, especially, the Little Karoo in South Africa. "Minwater" (which means Little Water) is situated 24km southwest of the town of Oudtshoorn, South Africa.
"And believe me, if you thought for a second that the succulent karoo was boring, then this is the tonic you need. This man brings the veld to life; in fact this is, without doubt, the best interpretive floral tour that I came across in all my travels for this book." and "Louis is an absolute fundi with a contagious passion for the Karoo."
Fiona McIntosh in Southbound Guide to South Africa's World Heritage Sites: Cape Floral Region Protected Areas
"...our host's enthusiasm and boundless knowledge of the little things that grow on the ground certainly will astound you." and "Allow him to share his passion... for Minwater's floral kingdom. It's a treat as well as a humbling experience."
(Ken Gerhardt in South African 4x4 Magazine of July 2003)
"Dit was 'n fees om Louis as gids saam te hĂȘ en veral sy kennis van die vetplante was 'n ryke ervaring."
(Corrie Laubscher of the "Suid-Kaapse Hak-tot-Toon-Voetslaanklub" in Die Burger of 2 September 2003)
"...dat almal hulle verluister het aan Louis se kennis van die veld. Op sy hurke is hy op sy gelukkigste wanneer hy jou vertel van waar die kleinste vetplantjie tot bome in die natuur inpas. In so 'n groot klaskamer, met so 'n kundige dosent, wens jy die tyd moet stilstaan..."
