Description

The Gifberg, not far from the Olifants River Valley and the Knersvlakte has become a favourite holiday destination for nature lovers.

The picturesque Gifberg Pass near Vanrhynsdorp gives access to the Matsikamma Mountain and much worth exploring, such as waterfalls and rock paintings. Diverse vegetation, much of it dry fynbos includes Protea and Erica species, succulents, bulbous plants and more, growing near and far from the mountain streams (Van Jaarsveld, et al, 2006).
