The reserve covers an area of around 100k hectares and has the highest density of different plant species in the world. To put this into perspective the South American Rain Forest is the second. Over 1800 plant species occur in the reserve of which 77 are endemic, so not found any where else in the world. Kogelberg forms part of UNESCO’s worldwide protected reserves & was the first biosphere reserve to be recognised in Southern Africa in 1998. Biosphere Reserves have been described as living experiments in sustainability tasked with the role of showing the world how to survive and meet one of the greatest issues challenging our planet. 

The local residents live a symbiotic relationship with a troop of Baboons who can be seen throughout the area. These intelligent animals  play a significant role in the eco environment and the sustainability of the surrounding Fynbos.
