Location
Witness the beautiful city of Cape Town crowned by the exquisite Table Mountain Park. The Bodh Khaya Retreat Center is situated in the Overberg region of the Western Cape, which is popular for an indigenous variety of flora. The area is covered by huge wheat fields and is considered the breadbasket of the Cape.
The wheat fields are also a major breeding ground for South Africa’s national bird, the blue crane. The Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve lies close to the center and hosts a large variety of flora that isn’t found elsewhere.
