Perched on the Amatola escarpment, the Mpofu Fort Fordyce Nature Reserve serves up staggering views of surrounding landscapes encapsulating the Katberg and Hogsback mountains. Conveying historic accounts from the past, the area is graffitied with ancient San rock paintings and evidence of central escarpment.
The indigenous forest hosts amongst the most diverse and richest species in southern Africa and the reserve serves as an excellent birding destination.
