The 82 hectare Afromontane forest and Fynbos reserve lies enclosed by the Tsitsikamma National Park, on the tableland between the Tsitsikamma Mountains and the Indian Ocean. Here nature once again reigns supreme – not only is the need for conservation acknowledged, energy is also focused on the long term rehabilitation of indigenous forest and Cape Fynbos.

To the visitor, Platbos Reserve offers the opportunity to experience this diverse eco system intimately. A network of walkways connects places of interest such as the lake on the forest edge, the Erica Falls waterfall and vantage points of the ocean. Birding is particularly rewarding and encounters with mammals such as bushbuck, bush pig, spotted genet, caracal, and honey badger are common.

• Gymnasium training
