After doing the first 1-2km's, where the landscape profile opens up every now and then for stunning sea view, the trail leads into thick undergrowth.
The sea water spray and the relatively good and more than sufficient presence of water (Tsitsikamma - place of plenty water) is simply the perfect environment for plenty species of plants, bushes, flowers and little trees.
Keep in mind the backpack might be higher as you when diving through this loggage.

Flora:
There are basicly two main areas of growths. The upper canopy comprises mainly hard pear (Olinia ventosa), real yellowwood (Podocarpus latifolius) and Cape beech (Rapanea melanophloeos), while smaller trees such as kamassi (Gonioma Kamassi), assegai (Curtisia Dentata) and Cape Blackwood (Maytenus Peduncularis) form a lower, second canopy.
