The Kouga Region is a unique meeting ground of natural phenomena and human cultures, a place that boasts undeveloped natural beauty and great tranquility. This is where the winter and summer rainfall regions meet and merge, creating a mild, temperate climate in which the lush, evergreen forests of the Tsitsikamma meet the fynbos (heathland) of the Cape Floral Kingdom and where the semi-arid Klein Karoo scrub meets the more luxuriant Valley Bushveld.
