The Freedom Day Long weekend was the ideal time to head to Baviaanskloof, a Nature reserve in the Eastern Cape some 660km form Cape Town.
The Baviaanskloof is remarkable in terms of the diversity of its natural ecosystems. Seven of South Africa’s eight biomes (major natural regions) are represented here including fynbos, forest, grassland, succulent Karoo, nama-karoo, sub-tropical thicket and savanna.
