Cederberg & West Coast

The Cederberg Mountains lie only 2+ hours drive north of Cape Town, but it feels like a different world. Once over the Piekenierskloof Pass, the country has changed: wilder, warmer with a raw, dramatic beauty. The towering Cederberg mountain range, brilliant purple in the late afternoon light, presides over a fruit-filled valley laden with the scent of orange blossom in the spring.

The Cederberg is our home. So we have an expert knowledge of the Cederberg lodges and touring options. From self-drive itineraries and walking holidays, to rock art and spring wild flower tours.

The Cederberg also provides a natural arena for adventure lovers. It is a perfect area for those who enjoy an outdoor lifestyle. On foot, there are great hiking opportunities. On the water, the rivers offer glorious crystal clear water for swimming and canoeing. Take a fascinating journey to the picturesque mission village of Wupperthal deep in the Cederberg. Or follow a walking trail to some ancient rock paintings. Enjoy hiking in the Cederberg Wilderness Reserve and swimming in waterfall rock pools.

Or simply relax in one of the most beautiful and peaceful areas of South Africa.

En route to the Cederberg you may like to visit the Cape West Coast, with its unique sandveld vegetation, picturesque fishing villages, long sandy beaches and immense bird colonies. Its relaxed hospitality is demonstrated by its famous alfresco seafood restaurants on the beach.
