Close by (6 km) is the 300ha Tygerberg Nature Reserve where bontebok once again roam freely after a 100 year absence. The name “Tygerberg” is a legacy of early settlers, who mistakenly identified endemic leopards as “tijgers”. The reserve protects the critically endangered renosterveld vegetation. Activities include hiking trails, picnic areas, views of Cape Town, a variety of animals and bird watching. The reserve’s Kristo Pienaar Environmental Education Centre features a resource centre, library and herbarium where geography, biodiversity and ecology lessons are offered. Booking is essential. Open every day except Christmas Day.
