The Golden Gate Highlands National Park plays host to Black Wildebeest, blesbok, duiker, eland, and Grey Rhebok, as well as springbok, Red Haartebeest, and steenbok.

Birding in the high mountains of the area (Highlands Mountain Retreat) often yields Bearded Vulture, while other large birds in the lower lying areas of the park include Black Stork, Bald Ibis, Cape Vulture, Verreaux’s (Black) and Martial Eagle, Jackal Buzzard, Lanner and Peregrine Falcon, Rock Kestrel and Black and Alpine Swift.

Vegetation in Golden Gate is divided into grassland and woodland/forest. In the valleys and on the south-eastern sides of certain slopes, Leucosidea sericea (ouhout) woodland. There are also isolated patches of Protea woodland (Protea caffra, P. roupelliae and P. subvestita).The two dominant veld types are Highland-Sourveld and the Themeda-Festuca veld.

I want really to commend you all for offering such high standards of accommodation and hospitality. Everythig was really perfect. Exceptional value for money and PLEASE do not change: = making it more expensive or lowering the standards. I am in the safari industry and rarely I have found what I found at this retreat. Thank you to all the team!
