This according to me must be the most beautiful part of South Africa. The area has the most beautiful rock formations. Roads are gravel and at some places terrible, so no cars if you want to see the real beautiful spots. You need several days to see everything. Visit Cederberg oasis for something to eat and drink, or even stay over. Do not forget your camera or video recorder this place is out of this world.

Amazing hikes and walks. Recommend 4x4 for comfort although most untarred/gravel roads can be made with regular vehicles. You need to get permits from Cape Nature at various stations and in summer carry lots of water, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Start early if possible on day hikes so you avoid midday sun/heat. Buy permit day in advance so you can access hikes etc for early starts. Check difficulty levels if hiking with children. Maps available online or when you buy permits. Maltese Cross is 4-5 hour hike out and back - we powered up in about 1.5hrs so can be done quicker but worth allowing recommended times.

A stunning and dramatically beautiful part of the Cape with a wonderful collection of endemic birds and wildlife to spot. In winter, it's exceptionally popular for its snow!

Amazing. Must visit whether you are a hiker or climber! We went to the end of winter/beginning of spring. It rained some but not too much and was quite warm some of the days!

Please note that the NC has many routes that is still dirt roads. The road from Clanwilliam via Doringbos river to Calvinia is one such road. It starts from Clanwilliam as a paved road, but suddenly ends up a dirt road. It is not recommended to take this road with a small or even medium sized city car. The 80 km stretch with many rippled sections took us nearly 3 hours. If you do take the route please watchout for turtles crossing the roads. Stay on main routes like N7 if you are in a small vehicle.

Have been there many times, and it stays one of the most beautiful places ever. Will go back again and again

Camped at Algeria. Staff enjoyed the load shedding (do brooms need electricity?), but the bathrooms were clean. The Cederberg are an experience, a must whether by car or on foot! Ansolutely magnificent!

The drive into the Wilderness area is a hectic gravel, stony road for about 15 km as it inclines, but worth it when you get to your destination. Went to Algeria Cederberg..

South Africa is a wonderfull place. The Pakhuis Pass is awesome with amazing scenery. Do not forget to visit the Leipoldt grave site.

Beautiful landscape in a tranquil environment. Very nice comfortable cottages with stunning views of the Cedar mountain.

Loved it! It feels magical, ethereal and mystical amongst the rock formations

Such a big area to explore with many sites, caves, waterfalls and views .... Please note that even though this road can be traveled by car best to visit area with a bakkie. Gravel roads are long, hot and dusty so mask and hat will be required. Trails are nice and steep so views are stunning. Check in with Cape Nature first as some routes or sites are behind locked gates and require permits

Breathtaking scenery in and around Red Cederberg
