FYNBOS FLORAL KINGDOM
An Area dominated with Floral Abundance! The Fynbos Road meanders through a unique botanical area: more than 9 fynbos- vegetation types and over 5 non-fynbos-vegetation types. skip Connecting the Whale-Coast to the Southern-most tip of Africa The "Fynbos Road" is an initiative of the Agulhas Biodiversity Project ("ABI") and runs for about 100 km from the birding hotspot of Stanford to the Agulhas National Park, the future home of all the animal species that roamed the Agulhas Plains until a little over 100 years ago. The Fynbos Road circumvents urban areas and meanders through peaceful rural lands and the pristine nature of one of the richest areas of the Cape Floral Kingdom, in itself the region with the richest plant-life on earth. Directly from the Fynbos Road one has access to more than 10 reserves and conservancies (each larger than 100 hectares) that are open to the public, either for day-visits (hikes, horse trails, 4x4 routes) or for residential guests (lodges, cottages and farmhouses). Via its several side roads, the Fynbos Road connects to yet another 10 reserves and fynbos-estates. The Fynbos Road meanders through a unique botanical area: more than 9 fynbos- vegetation types and over 5 non-fynbos-vegetation types. Of the thousands of plant species, many are endemic to the area of the Fynbos Road with some plant species localised to a single mountain as the only place in the world where they can be found.
