Okay, so it's a mouthful. Meaning someone similar to a bushman. Breath-taking mountain scenery, flowers and natural pools to swim in. I'd prefer Spring and Summer time to go as the weather is very unpredictable in the mountains. Spring is around the corner, but none the less, always go prepared for all kinds of weather. Don't die out there due to stupidity!
The entrance to the reserve is about 90km from Cape Town at Nuweberg, between Grabouw and Villiersdorp. You can choose accommodations in the nearby towns like Grabouw, Elgin and Caledon.
Two huts with bunks and mattresses are available on the hiking trails.
You have 42 00ha of reserve to wonder in. The reserve is an important conservation area for over 1300 recorded species of fynbos (our vegetation covering our mountains). There are 3 hiking trails to choose from, ranging from 17-24km. 12 People per permit for overnight and day trails.
*Go hiking, 4x4 trails, mountain biking or kloofing (similar to abseiling down the sides of the mountains).
*Fynbos species, various buck species, over 100 bird species and leopard can be seen.
*Nearby interests : museums, butterfly world, art galleries and wine estates.
The most amazing thing about these mountains is this : they are the southern end of a never-ending mountainous chain, which in effect, cuts the Cape off from the rest of South Africa! Amazing!
