Do You Want To Know A Secret About The Sun?

Bundle up warmly and join Lady Stanford River Cruises to enjoy one of the best-kept secrets when it comes to the Overberg’s favourite sunset spots in winter!

 
A River Mecca At Sunset For Fauna And Flora

The Klein River is home to over a hundred bird species that include fish eagles, pink flamingos and blue cranes. Keep an eye out for otters, turtles, bontebok and horses along the banks of the river as you make your way toward the Klein River Estuary with Lady Stanford River Cruises at sunset. You are in for a double-helping of nature’s best if you go on an end-of-day cruise because while one group of animals are preparing to turn in for the night, another is waking up for their turn to socialise and hunt.

Sunset On The Klein River In Stanford

There is something quite surreal about the effect the setting sun has on Stanford’s riverscapes when the sun sets over the Klein River in winter.

When winter’s clouds join in on the fun, sunset often culminates in a crescendo of colour that commands silence to those lucky enough to view it. One thing is for sure, every day yields a new and unique live show never to be repeated, and sharing this end-of-day experience with friends and family just makes it even more special.
