Swellendam is a small town in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. It has approximately 30 000 residents. The town is the third oldest place of European settlement in South Africa and therefore offers some fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture. A few kilometres from the town is the Bontebok National Park, where the rare Bontebok was protected in when it was close to extinction. The population has increased from 17 individuals in 1931 to a sustainable number today. The town is situated at the foot of the Langeberge (Long mountains), and there are many fine hiking trails, ranging from day-walks to a 5 to 7 day trail.
