Kogelberg Nature Reserve
Kogelberg Nature Reserve is considered by many to be the most beautiful of CapeNature’s protected areas. Its exceptional diversity and quality of Fynbos means it is also considered the heart of the Cape Floral Kingdom. Kogelberg Nature Reserve earns that reputation largely to the fact that it occupies an area with minimal human interference. The reserve presents perhaps the finest example of mountain Fynbos in the Western Cape and is a world-renowned World Heritage Site.

Mountains, rivers, Cape Floral Kingdom and coastal natural wonders with hiking / biking trails, near Hermanus and Kleinmond, South Africa
The reserve lies within the southern stretch of the rugged Hottentots Holland mountain range and has remained relatively isolated and remarkably unspoilt. Its high mountain peaks, steep kloofs, valleys and several tributaries of the pristine Palmiet River create a sense of remote wilderness. At Kogelberg, a sensitive core of 18,000ha of the reserve has been kept pristine and wild. Here there is much biological diversity and conservation is the priority. Only activities which do not adversely affect natural processes and wildlife are allowed, including White Water Rafting
Clarence Drive Road is regarded as 1 of the prettiest coastal road-trips on the planet, (between Gordon's Bay and Kleinmond) with outstanding natural beauty - Kogelberg is positioned half-way along this route. The reserve’s pristine beauty abounds all year round – during the blazing heat of summer when green is not what you expect, or in rains and mists of winter when torrents of water cascade down rock faces that were bone dry only weeks before.
The whole area is inspirational and one of more than 400 biosphere reserves worldwide. Kogelberg was South Africa’s first registered biosphere reserve and it encompasses the entire coastal area from Gordon’s Bay to the Bot River vlei, and inland to Grabouw and the Groenland Mountain.
