Papendorp Western Cape Cape West Coast Information

Situated on the Olifants River estuary, this small settlement with its unique bird life stands in line with future recognition as a RAMSAR site. Residents in Papendorp derive their livelihood from fishing in the estuary. If you're lucky you'll be able to buy some fresh river harders from the locals. When dried these harders are called "bokkoms" in the mother tongue, otherwise known as the popular West Coast Biltong. Locals process salt in the nearby salt pans. Today they still make use of the traditional salt gathering method. Locals have taken the initiative to develop an eco-tourism resort with a guest house and camping area including hiking trails and bird viewing points (still in the development phase).
