Bergrivier Tourism

Did you know that travelling with your pet isn’t just fun - it’s actually good for you?

Studies show that pets help lower stress levels, encourage physical activity, and even boost our happiness. So why leave them behind when you can explore together?

The Bergrivier region is the perfect place to reconnect—with nature, with yourself, and with your best furry friend. From river strolls in Velddrif to mountain trails in Porterville, there are endless memories to be made.

Pack the leash, grab the snacks (for both of you), and head off on an adventure where wagging tails and wide smiles are guaranteed. 🐾

Travelling with your pet isn’t just about logistics—it’s about a different kind of adventure.

It’s slower. More spontaneous. Full of unexpected joy.
It’s riverside strolls that turn into lazy afternoons.
It’s mountain hikes that end with paws muddy and hearts full.
It’s laughing when your dog tries to chase seagulls on the beach or sniffs every flower along a hiking trail.

In Bergrivier’s Velddrif, Piketberg, and Porterville, you’ll find a place where pet-friendly travel isn’t an afterthought—it’s the heartbeat of the experience.

Come discover a world where wagging tails lead the way to your next favourite memory. 🐶🌊🏔️
