BEAUTIFUL VISTAS, FREE ROAMING GAME - COME & EXPERIENCE
IT WITH US!
The
nature reserve, with its characteristic Fynbos and rare
renosterveld vegetation, forms part of the Cape Floral
Kingdom. It has been declared a National Heritage Site
in recognition of its importance as the last major
habitat of the geometric tortoise, one of the world's
rarest reptiles.
The
animals are easy to spot on the game drives in the
low-growing Fynbos, especially since there are more than
500 head of game. The reserve in the springtime: 'flower
heaven', as one guest called it, with sheets of colour
and a myriad of different bulbs, orchids and daisies to
be discovered on closer inspection.
More
than 160 species of birds have been identified at
Bartholomeus Klip, among them the endangered blue crane
and the African fish eagle as well as the ostrich,
frequently seen in the reserve.
