Calvinia

Akkerendam Nature Reserve: One of the attractions of Calvinia - The Akkerendam reserve, which protects the fragile ecosystem of the Hantam Mountain, is also a Karoo scrub sanctuary (what appears to some as little more than semi-arid landscape) that includes ten floral species unique to the Hantamsberg. It is an attractive reserve with beautiful scenery, magnificent sunsets and lovely hiking trails. But spring, when the entire reserve bursts into flower, gives rise to a carpet of wild flowers that is truly unequalled in beauty.
