Koeberg Nature Reserve

Koeberg Nature Reserve is just off the R27, in Melkbosstrand. Information on the Koeberg Power Station is available, as well as printed guides for two walking trails in the reserve. Visitors are treated to a range of fauna and flora with two major types of veld present in the reserve: West Coast Strandveld and Duineveld.

Animals to look out for are Grysbok, Steenbok, Bontebok, and Springbok. Caracal, the African Wild Cat, Grey Mongoose, and Genet can also be spotted. For twitchers, 153 species of birds have been recorded at Koeberg, including Ostriches and the African Fish Eagle.

A great way to see the reserve is on a bicycle and there are several routes to follow. The area is pretty flat, with less than 50 metres of climbing, so it’s great for beginners and families as well as more seasoned cyclists.
