Cederberg and West Coast Safaris

Venture off the beaten track and encounter the untouched beauty on a Cederberg and West Coast Safari. Discover rugged mountainscapes, ancient rock art, desert blooms, and quaint coastal villages along the Atlantic. South Africa’s unique wilder side awaits.

Situated 200 km north of Cape Town, the Cederberg and West Coast region is a wilderness area with breathtaking vistas and spring flowers from August to November. Encompassing some 71,000 hectares, the Cederberg Wilderness Area is framed by the majestic Cederberg Mountain range, one of the oldest formations on earth.

The Cederberg is renowned for its rock formations and ancient rock paintings left by the San Bushmen, dating back between 300 and 6,000 years. Characterised by angular peaks and nature trails, visitors can enjoy activities such as hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and 4×4 excursions. Accommodation in the Cederberg Wilderness Reserve includes spiritual wellness retreats and mountain escapes.

The West Coast region, a coastal stretch along the Atlantic Ocean, is dotted with small fishing villages and remarkable natural beauty. Far from the hustle and bustle of city life, the West Coast is a semi-arid area stretching to Namibia, known as a water sportsman’s paradise with secret surf spots along the coastline. In September, the arid landscape springs to life in a kaleidoscope of colour as brightly coloured flowers carpet the ground, attracting flower lovers from around the world.
