[2] This conservation area consists of 248 ha (610 acres) of endangered dune vegetation and limestone cliffs, extending along a portion of the False Bay coastline.

These include evergreen shrubs, flowering succulents, arum lilies and a variety of daisy species.

This weed has spread across large parts of the coastline, smothering and killing local vegetation and upsetting coastal ecosystems.

Wolfgat Nature Reserve is managed by the city of Cape Town, in partnership with the local communities of Khayelitsha and Mitchell’s Plein.

The name Wolfgat means "wolf cave", and refers to the brown hyena or strandwolf which existed here until the 19th century.
