Botshabelo Historical Village and Reserve is a proclaimed Heritage Site, which offers a country lifestyle, Highveld tranquillity and magnificent vistas of the Klein Olifants River gorge. The local communities are the beneficiaries of this tourism development.

A unique experience has been created by using the old missionary houses and buildings as accommodation. A number of rooms and houses are available to provide for a maximum of 70 people. The current accommodation is self-catering and guests share kitchen and ablution facilities. There is also a caravan park under huge blue-gum trees on the banks of the Klein Olifants River.

Activities include visits to a Ndebele village and museum, an old missionary station with church, which is ideal for countryside weddings, game walks and drives, three one-day hiking trails, horse-riding, a hall for conferences and workshops, guided tours through the historical village, refreshments at the tea garden and visits to the Merensky Fort.
