Clear sunny days, unmatched in these times of urban pollution, secure maximum daytime for adventure and favourable temperatures varying between 16 and 35oC ensure cloudless night skies for day’s end respite.
The Flora on the Reserve is a combination of typical Karoo Fynbos and succulents that offer an excellent natural home to smaller game, such as klipspringer, steenbok, duiker and springbok as well as larger game, like the Giraffe, Cape mountain zebra, red hartebeest, kudu, eland, gemsbok (oryx) and black wildebeest.
The Reserve also hosts natural predators like the leopard, caracal (rooikat) and jackal, supported by the black eagle, owl and falcon.Among the more than 160 bird species are lapwings, kori bustards and Egyptian geese, which maintain the ecological balance.Honeybush Tea and a variety of proteas, erica and gladioli are some of the species of flora to be found naturally in the mountains.
This sub-region of the Klein Karoo has one of the richest concentrations of succulent plants in the world.A distinctive characteristic of this ecological game reserve is the predominance of dwarf shrubs with succulent leaves.These distinct floral areas are part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, which is designated as one of the earth’s six plant kingdoms.
