 | | Known for its exceptional mountain fynbos (1654 species of plants, 77 are endemic), indigenous forests, and beautiful waterfalls, the reserve is recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve, one of only 400 in the world. |
 | | There are four groups of fynbos plants, the most well-known of which is the Proteacae family, large-leafed plants known for their unique and very beautiful flowers. |
 | | Proteas that bear flowers that look like colourful - yellow, pink, orange - pincushions are wonderful, although my favourite is the King Protea, South Africa’s national flower, a gorgeous, pale pink flower about the size of a dinner plate.) |
