Rooi Els is a small seaside village on the eastern shores of False bay. A place where you can really feel close to nature. The village forms part of the Kogelburg biosphere nature Reserve. Amazing oppourtinies to see indigenous wildlife and see the beautiful cape floral kingdom. One should have rented a car to visit the area. It is quite from the nearest big towns and public transport or Uber is not readily available. There are many beautiful walking routes in the area There are a number of beautiful hikes in the Kogelburg Nature reserve, the Hangklip mountains and the famous Harold Porter Botanical gardens
