WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE ON TOUR: The fauna of the Swartberg is very diverse, with some species found nowhere else on earth. The rarer birds include the booted eagle, martial eagle, Cape eagle owl, Victorin's warbler and protea seedeater. Sunbirds and sugarbirds, rock jumpers and black eagles are often spotted. Mammals most likely to be seen by visitors to the Pass and mountain trails include the dassie, klipspringer and baboon, although leopard, otters, jackal, aardvark, kudu, steenbok, grysbok and grey rhebok are also present. The impressive diversity and richness of the varied fynbos and Karoo flora on the slopes of the Swartberg Mountains are magnificent. The soil is poor in nutrients and also shallow, and the slopes themselves are steep. Yet proteas, leucadendrons, ericas, watso-nias, gladioli, disas, Haemanthus species and many lesser known, rare plants abound. The Swartberg also has an interesting history, with human interaction and travel interacting closely with the Mountains, but it still remains a vast and pristine environment which has much interest to conservationists, geologists, hikers, mountain bikers and visitors from every reach of the globe.
