Fernkloof Nature Reserve

Stretching for 18 square kilometres across the mountains overlooking the popular holiday destination of Hermanus, Fernkloof Nature Reserve is a natural wonderland of indigenous fynbos and coastal vegetation, evergreen woodlands and scenic hiking trails. It is an invaluable conservation area, with more floral species growing in a relatively small area than in any other corner of the planet, and also provides a sanctuary for a menagerie of wildlife, including buck, baboon, mongoose, porcupine, hyrax, genet and almost 100 bird species.
