The drive sets off through the gate and across the river into the reserve, entering a completely different world from the farmlands and gardens of Bartholomeus Klip. You might head towards the mountains towering up in front of you, or along the road to the grassy plains where herds of black wildebeest, eland, bontebok, quagga, springbok and zebra tend to congregate, all the while surrounded by South Africa’s unique fynbos with its rich and varied plant life full of interest.
