In another time the San people called the region home and spent their time foraging and hunting on this land, building huts for shelter and telling stories
in their Rock Art paintings. Today, what is left of their story can be found in the tools beneath the sand and the paintings which have not been weathered
off the cave walls.

The Cederberg region is typical of the karoo with drier mountain fynbos and kilometres of open expanse due to the absence of tree-life. A variety of
shrubs dominate the area, blooming beautiful flowers during the springtime, while protea species can be found higher up in the mountains.

A number of wildlife species can also be found in the area with their diets consisting mainly of these plant species. Larger antelope, frequently spotted,
include the: Eland and Gemsbok, while smaller species of Rock Hyrax, Cape Hare and the Striped Polecat are shy and rarely spotted. A number of low-tier
carnivores also inhabit the Reserve, though the most impressive predator is the Cape Leopard which is very illusive and prefers the canyon to the west of
the property.

There are a large variety of bird species to be seen at Kagga Kamma and a number of them send birdsong into the crisp morning air or during the cool of
the day; avid birders would find the area diverse and interesting to observe.
