The Kogelberg is a range of mountains along the False Bay coast in the Western Cape of South Africa. They form part of the Cape Fold Belt, starting south of the Elgin valley and forming a steep coastal range as far as Kleinmond.
The Kogelberg area has the steepest and highest drop directly into the ocean of any southern African coastal stretch.
