Fauna and Flora of the Marico
Where biodiversity thrives in the heart of the bushveld
Nestled within the UNESCO-declared Marico Biosphere Reserve, the Marico region is one of South Africa’s last truly wild spaces—a sanctuary for an extraordinary range of plant and animal life. Its rich tapestry of savannah, bushveld, wetlands, and rocky outcrops supports remarkable biodiversity, much of it unique to this part of the country.
Nature in Harmony
The interdependence between Marico’s flora and fauna is what makes this region truly special. From bees pollinating wildflowers to birds dispersing seeds, every living organism plays a role in preserving the balance of this protected ecosystem.
Whether you’re walking a forested trail, floating down the river, or watching wildlife from your porch, the Marico invites you to reconnect with nature at its most raw and restorative.
