Cederberg Community Hike
The 4 days/3 nights Cederberg Community Hike is in the northern Cederberg, about 250 km north-west of Cape Town. The area has a spectacular mountain landscape, is a treasure house of rock art and has a rich botanical diversity.
A major portion is a proclaimed Wilderness Area that has World Heritage status. The hike is escorted by members of the local community. It includes a rock art visit and a donkey cart ride.
Distinctive Cederberg landscape with magnificent views and sunsets. Cape fynbos, endangered Clanwilliam Cedar, Cape mountain leopard, baboons, klipspringers and more than 100 bird species can be seen here.
This part of the Cederberg is particularly known for its impressive mountain landscape, rugged terrain and coloured rock formations. The area is very popular for rock climbing. The Cederberg is one of the best areas for ancient San (Bushmen) rock art in the world, with more than 2,500 discovered sites, a number of which are easily accessible.
The hikes are escorted by local community members. Stay one night in the small picturesque Moravian missionary, Heuningvlei - the itinerary includes a donkey cart ride!
