South Africa's The Western Cape
Cedarberg Mountains
Only two hours inland from the coast, this South African jewel promises natural treasures unmatched. With towering mountains, painted a brilliant indigo in the light of the setting sun, proudly presiding over fruit filled valleys radiating the pungently sweet scent of ripe orange blossoms in the spring, the Cedarberg Mountains effortlessly return visitors to not the developed sophistication of the coast, but rather the true African beauty; raw and untouched.
An inspiring canvas of towering mountains, lush forests and sandy beaches, the Cedarberg Mountains offer an unsurpassed dramatic beauty free of civilization’s finicky hand. Swim in the crystal rock pools fed by the cascading waterfalls above or peer out into the fruit filled valley laden with the fresh scent of orange blossom in the spring.
Trek through the brilliant Wildflower Floral Kingdom or journey to Bird Island where the unforgettable cormorants and gannets paint the scenery. Or, venture thousands of years into the founding of humankind as you view the ancient San Bushman Rock Art found within the caves of Cedarberg.
