Neighborhood info

The Karkloof is one of South Africa’s gems. Home to the second largest indigenous forest, it is an area of enormous beauty, as well as, a place for relaxation and adventure, from mountain biking, trail running and hiking to swinging through trees and tubing down rivers. Take a few days to explore and enjoy what the area has to offer. The mistbelt forest of the Karkloof Nature Reserve contains many endemic species of flora and fauna including various yellowwoods, stinkwood, Karkloof blue butterfly, samango monkeys, bushbuck, crowned eagle, dwarf chameleon, caracal, serval, bushpig and perhaps an elusive leopard. A day of birding could yield up to 100 birds.
