​​Vegetation types
The remarkable habitat diversity supports a high variety of vegetation types. No fewer than 53 types
have been mapped by botanists in the Greater Baviaanskloof area, with 27 occurring in the Baviaanskloof Reserve Cluster. They are dominated by fynbos and subtropical thicket elements
Plants
In terms of plant forms. The greater Baviaanskloof Area is rich in species and genera. It lies at the eastern end of the Cape Floristic Region (predominantly fynbos) and, as such, falls within
the smallest and most distinctive of the worldʼs six plant kingdoms. This region includes 9 000 plant species (69% of which are endemic), 988 genera (16% endemic) and 173 families.
The fynbos plant forms are fairly typical of those from throughout
the Cape Floristic Region, as indicated by the importance of families such as the Ericaceae, Proteaceae, Iridaceae, Rutaceae and Aizoaceae
Reptiles
Remarkably, almost half (24 species) of the 57 reptile species recorded in the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve and close environs are endemic to South Africa.
Amphibians
The Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve amphibian (frog) community includes 17 species, including three Cape Floristic Region endemics and eight national endemics.
Birds
With over 300 recorded species, which is more than a third of the total bird fauna in South Africa, the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve is recognised as a Globally Important Bird Area on account of the
high overall diversity of birds.
​​​Tortoises
The Baviaanskloof reserve potentially has one of the highest diversities of chelonians (tortoises and
turtles) in South Africa and anywhere else in the world.
Fish
At 15 species, the indigenous fresh-water fish diversity of the Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve is exceptionally high by South African standards.
​

Thicket, Nama-karroo, Succulent Karoo, Grassland, Savanna and Forest biomes
