Gamkaberg Nature Reserve, Protected area in Little Karoo, South Africa
The Gamkaberg Nature Reserve spans 94 square kilometers across mountain peaks, plateaus, and gorges in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The reserve began operations in 1974 with five Cape mountain zebras, leading to a successful conservation program that increased their population to over forty animals.
The name originates from Khoisan language, where 'Gamka' refers to lions that once inhabited this mountainous region before their extinction.
Visitors can access the reserve during daylight hours, with entry permits costing 50 rand for adults and 30 rand for children at the main office.
The conservation area contains four distinct biomes: Fynbos, Succulent Karoo, Subtropical Thicket, and Evergreen Forest, supporting numerous reptile and bird species.
