Anysberg’s special plants, animals and stars

By Roxanne Reid
If you've been to Cape Nature’s Anysberg Nature Reserve, somewhere between Laingsburg, Ladismith and Montagu in the Karoo, then you already know how special it is. You know about the quality of its stillness, how easy it is to become attuned to nature, how delightful its simple little cottages are.  And about Anysberg’s special plants, animals and stars.

In another post, I got excited about our stay at Anysberg’s cottages and how easy it was adjusting to nature’s rhythm. About our dinky little cottage, with its wood-burning stove and rietdak ceilings. About the on-again-off-again thunderstorms.

Anysberg's chalets are comfy and hard not to love for their simplicity

Now in an article for Africa Geographic called Plants, stars and animals in Anysberg, I’ve highlighted some of the special creatures to be found there, how important the reserve is for many rare and endangered plant species, and the lavish magic of its starry skies on a clear night. Throw in veld walks, horse riding and mountain biking to keep you active, and there are lots of reasons to visit Anysberg. If you appreciate nature and simplicity, make it sometime soon.

Follow Pegasus to find a purpose-built platform where you can view the stars through a telescope
