ROBBERG COASTAL WALKS
Discover the Magic
"When God created the Garden Route, He must have been in a very good mood".
The Southern Cape is a wonderful place, with its lovely coastline, pristine forests and majestic mountains. Yet most who come here do not discover the depth of its riches. The best way to do this is on foot, and preferably with a knowledgeable guide.

ROBBERG NATURE RESERVE
 |
"A singular mountain and different from any other I have seen in Africa" Karl Thunberg - 1772 swedish botanist and explorer |
Robberg Nature Reserve along with kilometres of glorious beaches, edges the "Bay Beautiful" - Plettenberg Bay. Robberg has it all - spectacular scenery, unimpeded vistas of ocean and shore, uniquely adapted vegetation, a thriving seal colony, caracal, grysbok, porcupine, rock hyrax sunbirds and seabirds and funny little lizards (agamas) who watch you quizzically wherever you sit. On top of all this are its other secrets - fossils of unimagined antiquity under one's feet (if you know where to look): caves where stone-age man hunted and fished, lived and died; stories of shipwrecks more dramatic than any fiction, and of fishing tales from times when shoals of great game fish surged past its flanks. Even the rock faces have tales to tell of giant inland seas, rising and falling mountain ranges and sea levels - the birth and death of rocky beaches and quiet lagoons.
