The Knersvlakte is a unique semi-desert region located in the Western Cape of South Africa. It is characterized by its flat, rocky terrain and sparse vegetation, primarily consisting of succulents and hardy plants adapted to arid conditions. The area is known for its rich biodiversity, particularly its endemic flora, which includes various species of fynbos. This region is also significant for its cultural heritage, as it has been inhabited by the San people for thousands of years. The Knersvlakte is part of the larger Succulent Karoo biome, which is recognized for its exceptional plant diversity and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
