CapeNature, the public agency responsible for biodiversity conservation in South Africa's Western Cape, has announced that the Tweede Tol picnic and camping site in the Limietberg Nature Reserve is closed until further notice. Located at the original tollgate of the historic Bainskloof Pass near Wellington, Tweede Tol picnic and camping site has long been a favourite getaway for nature lovers. Nestled along the crystal-clear Witte River, the site features 26 shaded campsites — including six private, self-contained units — and a scenic picnic area surrounded by mountains and river pools. Known for its tranquil atmosphere, refreshing swims, and access to popular hiking trails, Tweede Tol offers an authentic wilderness experience just over an hour’s drive from Cape Town.
Limietberg Nature Reserve
Set amid the rugged mountains and deep valleys of the Boland region, the Limietberg Nature Reserve is part of the Cape Floristic Region World Heritage Site. Covering more than 117,000 hectares, this pristine protected area is home to rich fynbos vegetation, cascading waterfalls, and diverse wildlife such as klipspringers, baboons, and a variety of bird species. With its scenic hiking routes, mountain streams, and historic sites including Bainskloof Pass, Limietberg Nature Reserve remains one of the Western Cape's most spectacular outdoor destinations — a true showcase of South Africa's natural and cultural heritage.
