Durbanville Nature Reserve, Nature reserve in Durbanville, South Africa.
The six-hectare protected area contains two critical vegetation zones: Swartland Shale Renosterveld and Cape Flats Sand Fynbos, supporting 241 plant species.
The establishment of the reserve in 1966 followed the discovery of Aristea lugens, leading to dedicated conservation efforts for endangered plant species.
The reserve functions as an educational center where local schools participate in environmental programs to learn about indigenous flora and fauna conservation.
During summer months from September through April, visitors can access the reserve on weekdays from 07:30 to 16:00 and weekends from 09:00 to 18:00.
Three endemic fynbos bird species inhabit the reserve: the Cape sugarbird, Cape canary, and Orange-breasted sunbird, among 104 recorded bird species.
