Anysberg Nature Reserve

The Anysberg Nature Reserve is a 62,500 ha (154,000-acre; 625 km2; 241 sq mi) nature preserve situated in the western Little Karoo region of the Gouritz Cluster Biosphere Reserve in the Western Cape province, South Africa. The central mountain is named after Anise, Pimpinella anisum, which is found

in the reserve. The reserve was established in 1984, to conserve succulent and fynbos flora in the Cape Fold Belt, and to reintroduce game which formerly occurred here. The nearest towns are Laingsburg and Ladismith, which are both about 55 km (34 mi) from the main reserve entrance.
