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 will be speaking at the 2021 Calitzdorp Vetplantfees!

NATURE – A BOOK ANYBODY CAN READ WHO WILL STOP LONG ENOUGH

To the uninformed nature is a closed book and even those familiar with the natural environment often encounter unknown areas or aspects which they would like to learn more about. Indeed, each plant, animal and object, although seemingly insignificant, is a treasure chest of secrets and ‘stories’ waiting to be explored.
During this presentation, an interpretative virtual nature tour, many such secrets are unveiled and ‘stories’ concerning a variety of creatures of nature are told. Indeed, the audience will be shown that nature is a book anybody can read who will stop long enough.

"Although Minwater Farm is situated in a transition zone which receives both winter and summer rainfall, it gets very little of both and is classified as semi-desert. What it has in abundance, though, is natural beauty. " You can read the rest Nick Yell's article about Minwater on Wheels24 here:

Our Story

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 hê 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)
