Silwerbloomkloof Nature Reserve is a beautiful 4,9 ha kloof in Somerset West, just northwest of the Helderberg Nature Reserve. It was proclaimed a Natural Heritage Site in 1988. The site conserves a forest of silver trees, as well as granite fynbos and renosterveld, with 220 plant species.

Silver trees belong to the protea family, and are the largest cone bush species, typically found only on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. This population at Silwerboomkloof is an anomaly.
