Hottentots Holland Reserve - Cape Peninsula South Africa

This formidable ridge of mountains, which form a barrier between the Cape Peninsula and the south coast, was often used as a refuge by the Hottentot people after stealing cows or retreating from a land squabble with the settlers. The Dutch realised that these little brown men loved the rocky mountains as much as they loved Holland. In recognition of this, they named the area ‘The Hottentots Holland’.

Hottents Holland - Western Cape South Africa When the European settlers tried to get over these mountains they found only animal trails from migrating herds. They used these steep boulder-ridden paths to reach the Overberg (over the mountains) and the scar of wagon wheels worn deep into the rocks, can still be seen today. On the summit in the Hottents Holland Nature Reserve is a natural garden of wild flowers with the richest and most diverse floral population in the world.
