Nestled against natural rock formations within the Cederberg Mountains and far away from the big city lights lies the Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve. This historical reserve connects visitors of today with the soulful heritage and landscape that was once inhabited by the Khoi and San.

Exploring the Cederberg
The Cederberg Mountains lie approximately 2 hours’ drive north of Cape Town and the Winelands. Yet it is like no other area of the Cape. Here there are no manicured gardens, glitzy shops or attractions teeming with tourists. Rather you experience a raw, rugged beauty and a sense of utter peace and tranquillity. As you travel over the Piekenierskloof Pass, you descend into a different world.
Wildflowers in the Cederberg region.
The countryside has changed. It's wilder and warmer, with raw, dramatic beauty. It's a natural arena for adventure lovers with great hiking and mountain biking opportunities. However, its stunning mountain passes and landscapes can be equally enjoyed by vehicle. The Cederberg is also known for its beautiful wildflowers in spring, with good rains seeing carpets of flowers in August.
