Baviaanskloof
Just 1 hours drive from Cape St Francis lies approximately 270 000 ha. of unspoiled, mountainous terrain known as The Baviaanskloof.
Translated as 'The Valley Of Baboons', the worlds largest nature reserve begins in the East at Komdomo, leads through the rugged beauty of the "Grootrivier" Gorge on its winding path all the way towards Willowmore in the West.
The nature reserves breath-taking scenery includes sights of deep gorges, twisting streams and rivers and towering mountain cliffs. Open plateaux and valleys are scattered throughout the area resulting in truly magnificent vistas. The highest point in the mountain ranges is the Cockscomb that rises to a height of 1 758 metres above sea level.
The Baviaanskloof is home to an abundance of wildlife including Cape Mountain Zebra, Common Eland and Savanna Buffalo. Today there are 48 mammal species found in the reserve - so keep those cameras at the ready and with such a rich and diverse landscape, it is not surprising to find that there are around 300 species of birds too!
We highly recommend a visit to the Baviaanskloof and all it has to offer and now you can do it style.
