Immerse yourself in the Cape's natural beauty

10% of the world’s plant species and as much as 15% of the world’s marine species thrive in this sacred environment, a large concentration of which can be found in the Western Cape’s rich coastal reserves.
The Cape Floral Kingdom is a particularly rich region for its variety of vegetation and endemic species of flora (70% unique). Despite being the smallest of the world’s six floral kingdoms – an area of just 90,000 square kilometres - it is the richest in plant diversity for its size and is dominated by fynbos (“fine bush”), the protection and preservation of which is being actively managed.
For nature-lovers, this is nothing short of paradise.
