Much of our richly diverse flora are flowering at this time, including proteas, ericas, geophytes and some interesting endemics. Bring a warm jersey and waterproofs - you may need them.

Look out, too, for the tiny, charming, and superbly coloured Orange-Breasted Sunbird which is endemic to the fynbos.

From our upper paths you may even see whales out in the bay !
