Exploring De Hoop Nature Reserve from here
CapeNature manages De Hoop as one of its largest reserves, covering some 34 000 hectares of the Overberg coast about three hours from Cape Town, and the reserve forms part of a World Heritage Site. The adjoining marine protected area extends 5 km out to sea and is one of the largest in Africa. Southern right whales move into these waters between June and November to breed and raise their young, and the high dunes at Koppie Alleen are a recognised land-based vantage point. The 55 km Whale Trail runs from Potberg to Koppie Alleen with five overnight stops. Bontebok, Cape mountain zebra, eland, grey rhebok, baboon and yellow mongoose all occur in the reserve.
