Die Oog Conservation Area

Die Oog Conservation Area encompasses a lake with an artificial island, wetlands, gardens, and indigenous Peninsula Granite Fynbos across 1.2 hectares in Cape Town.

The conservation area developed from an urban planning initiative to preserve natural spaces within Cape Town's expanding residential neighborhoods during the late 20th century.

The reserve functions as an educational center where local schools participate in environmental programs to learn about indigenous flora and fauna conservation.

Visitors can access Die Oog daily from 6:30 AM to 6:30 PM without entrance fees, though donations support the maintenance of this protected environment.

The wetland serves as one of the remaining breeding grounds for the Western Leopard Toad, which migrates to the area during August.
