BASTIAANSKLOOF NATURE CONSERVANCY SPECIES BOOKLET • FLORA RECORDS • TREES The Bastiaanskloof Estate and Nature Conservancy forms part of the UNESCO Boland Mountain World Heritage Site. The 6,000 acres, 2,500 hectare estate is home to over 1,100 different riverine, mountain fynbos and renosterveld plant species. Small remnants of afro-montane forests can still be found in the mountain kloofs on the estate. There are over 200 bird species and some 50 mammal species that includes the endangered Cape Mountain Leopard, Smith’s Red Rock Rabbit, the Chacma Baboon, Steenbok and the Cape Grysbok antelope. In this information booklet we list both the more conspicuous and more rare species that are to be seen on the Estate.
