Robberg Peninsula

Robberg Peninsula is not just a nature reserve that protects the region's terrestrial and marine fauna. Due to evidence of human occupation on the site since prehistory, Robberg has national monument and world heritage status. A real gem of the Garden Route and one of its main attractions, located 8 km south of Plettenberg Bay.

Three options of trails, with distances that vary between 2 and 9 km, allow incredible hiking routes for all levels and lead to desert and astonishing beaches. Along the way, watch out for the colony of seals, dolphins or whales, which are present in the region from June to November. The descent of the dunes towards the beach and the island allows one of the most iconic views of the South African coast.

Highlights


Nature

National parks, regional parks, nature reserves and conservation units protect the terrestrial and marine natural heritage in several countries in Africa. Conservation initiatives are part of traditions and culture in some African countries: sustainable access to the main natural sanctuaries of the continent generates jobs and income to local communities, in addition to financing the preservation of natural biodiversity and endangered species.
