Robberg

The Robberg Nature Reserve, located just outside Plettenberg Bay along South Africa’s stunning Garden Route, is a remarkable coastal sanctuary known for its breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife. The reserve is famous for its rugged cliffs, rocky outcrops, and pristine beaches, making it a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and photographers. The Robberg Peninsula, which forms the heart of the reserve, offers a variety of trails with varying levels of difficulty, all providing sweeping views of the Indian Ocean and the surrounding coastline.

The reserve is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, which can be observed basking on the rocks, as well as bird species like black oystercatchers and cormorants. Visitors may also spot dolphins and whales along the coast during certain seasons. Robberg’s rich biodiversity and its combination of natural beauty and outdoor activities make it a must-see destination along the Garden Route. Make sure to arrive early or late as the parking area is often full during the day. After paying the entrance fee you’ll find restrooms and a coffee bar. The trails ware between 30 minutes and four hours long and include pretty steep ascends and descends. I loved the wooden paths and amazing views; hiking here is quite an adventure.
