Geelkop (private nature reserve) is about 450 ha in size. It derives its name from the mass of yellow flowering plants, particularly Leucadendrons, which cover the hills during spring. The Geelkop private reserve offers a half-day hiking trail and a circular drive with splendid views.

Take the scenic drive from Elim to Wolvengat and enjoy the superb fynbos along the road. Some of the rarest wild flower species are found in the Elim area. Most flowers are picked and sold for export.

Take a stroll through the village and note the small pieces of land that has been allocated to a number of residents, which is mainly used for growing vegetables. Stop at the Old Mill Tea Room to have some lunch or tea while sampling some delicious Elim biscuits and "mosbolletjies".
