Biome context

Western Cape fynbos

Winter-rain shrubland across the Cape Fold mountains and flats. Expect dry summers, gale-force berg winds, and a landscape built around fire cycles. Camp only in designated sites, treat every water source, and treat fire-weather warnings as hard limits-not suggestions.
