As part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the West Coast is home to thousands of species of plants, including fynbos which is indigenous to the region and found nowhere else in the world. And when you consider that although the Cape Floral Kingdom occupies only a tiny fraction of land at the bottom of Africa, yet hosts almost 20% of all floras on the continent, one begins to grasp the true natural wealth of this unique region.

The Cape West Coast Biosphere Reserve is one of 598 biospheres globally, 74 of them are in Africa and 6 in South Africa. It lies on South Africa’s West Coast been the Diep River (Milnerton) in the south, the Berg River (Velddrif) in the north, the N7 (Malmesbury, Mooreesburg) in the east and the Atlantic Ocean in the West.
