Biodiversity
Fed by three rivers, the diversity of life is supported here amidst mountain feathers and the characteristic Klein Karoo veil.
About 180 species of birds are regularly spotted in the reserve, making it a popular choice for bird watchers. In addition to the enchanting landscape and rich plant and animal life, the reserve is also home to San rock art, painted thousands of years ago.
