Spring has definitely sprung here in the Western Cape! While most will be focusing on the wild flowers carpeting the West Coast in their millions, the fynbos species are also getting in on the action.
Most people will experience the fynbos of the Cape Floral Kingdom on Table Mountain, but it extends all the way to the Eastern and Northern Capes. However, the heart of the kingdom is definitely in Kogelberg nature reserve, just 1.5 hours outside Cape Town. Being isolated by mountains on 3 sides and the coast on the 4th, it has 1800 species of plant in 30km squared. This gives it the highest species to area ratio in the world!
