Tygerberg Nature Reserve is hidden in the hills of the northern suburb of Cape Town. This reserve is famous for birdwatching and hiking. From the top, experience breathtaking views of the city of Table mountain and Robbin Island. False Bay coastline is also visible if there's a clear sky.
This 388-hectare nature reserve is home to 137 bird species, including 24 mammals, reptiles, a variety of butterflies, and 562 plant species, some of which are endemic to Cape Town. It has a designated picnic spot under the pine shade accessible from the Welgemoed gate. It is wheelchair and pram friendly. To know a little more about the land and the reserve, visit the Kristo Pioneer Environmental Educational Center, aided with audio-visual equipment, a library, and a lecture hall offering educational resources on the rich biodiversity. The reserve has two entrances - the Welgemoed gate and the Plattekloef gate.
