Wilderness National Park, National park at Garden Route, South Africa
The Wilderness National Park extends over 4,000 hectares of forests, lakes, wetlands, and fynbos vegetation along the Western Cape coastline.
The park emerged from a 450-hectare protected zone established in 1968 around the river mouth, including two lakes and Duiwerivier Kloof.
Three indigenous forest zones and four types of fynbos plants form natural habitats that preserve the regional ecological heritage.
Visitors can explore the park through multiple walking trails, canoe on the Touw River, or observe birds from designated observation points.
The park contains three interconnected lakes - Eilandvlei, Langvlei, and Rondevlei - designated as wetlands of international importance under Ramsar Convention.
