Common Eland (Tragelaphus oryx) are the world’s largest antelope, yet they can still clear surprisingly high obstacles when necessary.

Their distinctive clicking sound is produced by movement in the leg joints of mature animals.

IUCN Status: Least Concern.

Greater Kudu (Tragelaphus strepsiceros) are built for life among thick bush and broken terrain.

Their large ears help them detect danger, while the males’ spiralled horns make them one of the Klein Karoo’s most recognisable antelope.

IUCN Status: Least Concern.

Ouma-se-kappie (Hermannia grandiflora) produces large, drooping red flowers and grows naturally on stony soils north of the Swartberg.

A reserve experience is not only about what you see.

It is also found in fresh tracks across the path, birds calling from the scrub, and the feeling of being fully present in the Klein Karoo.

This is a giraffe track in the sand.

Rhombic Egg-eater (Dasypeltis scabra) swallows bird eggs whole, cracks the shell using specialised projections inside its throat, and later regurgitates the crushed shell.

This harmless snake is an extraordinary example of dietary adaptation. IUCN Status: Least Concern.
