Botrivier
At first glance, Botrivier might strike its visitors as just another sleepy town in the middle of nowhere. This is far from the case concerning this tiny piece of paradise located in the heart of the Overberg in South Africa. Visitors will find this panoramic village along the foothills of the celebrated Houw Hoek Mountain range. The Overberg on the whole is an ideal holiday destination due to being in close proximity to natural beauty and nature conservations alike. The great outdoors is the name of the game in this part of the world.
The word ‘Bot’ originates in the Khoi Khoi language, meaning ‘abundance of fat’. The Botrivier River later became known as Botter or Butter River, eventually leading to the shortened name Botrivier. Botrivier has an interesting residential history, ranging from the Khoi Khoi tribes that settled along the Botrivier River to merchants that settled in the Cape in the late 17th century trading mostly in butter.
Experience Botrivier on your next vacation with its array of activities and tourist attractions to reel you in.
