Our open-air game vehicle continued to ascend the mountain road, providing new vistas of the mythically beautiful Overberg landscapes at every turn. We spotted shallow tarns reflecting the clouds on their silky surfaces, distant mountain ridges appearing and then disappearing behind low-hanging clouds, and then what we came to see — pockets of flowering fynbos. In these hectares of fynbos belts lies the true magic of Grootbos: the most florally diverse place on earth, with almost ethereal scenes in every direction.
