WithChameleons looking every which way

There are several Reptiles which call the forest their home. This magnificent Class of animals are well suited to the canopy and cover of the trail in the high-canopy rainforest. Ranging in colour, size and shape, reptiles occupy most nooks & crevasses, trees and leaf litter along The Clivia Trail. So please tread with caution, keeping our reptile friends in mind.

Step carefully and you may see the non-venomous Natal Green Snake, a tiny Common Slug Eater, and the rare Woodbush Legless Skink.

These shy ectothermic residents, play a vital role within the Forest Ecosystem, regulating insect and rodent populations, which should limit bugs bothering you while on the trail. Reptiles, in-turn are a valuable food source for many birds (Owls and Bush-shrikes) and mammals (Bushpigs and badgers)

The collective noun for some of these Forest residents, are, a Lounge of Lizards, a camouflage of Chameleons, and a slither of snakes and skinks.

The Woodbush Forest Reserve is a jungle-gym to the shy and elusive Transvaal Dwarf chameleon, looking every which way.

Don’t be afraid, become emersed
