To some, there are the Great Outdoors, and then there is the Cederberg. The Cederberg Wilderness Area enjoys the highest possible conservation status.
It lies 200 km north of Cape Town from Middelberg Pass at Citrusdal to the north of Pakhuis Pass at Clanwilliam. |
| There is a floral diversity of fynbos and succulent plants which are displayed at best during spring, when the area is covered in splashes of colour.
The area offers unsurpassed opportunities for recreation. In the primitive wilderness, away from city bustle, space and peace is to be found.
Activities which are compatible with the wilderness atmosphere, such as hiking and rock climbing, are recommended. |

There are hundreds of rocky overhangs and caves with fine examples of rock art. These paintings may be anything from 300 to 6 000 years old, and form an integral part of the wilderness area's fascination.
Weathered sandstone formations, most notably the Wolfberg Arch and the Maltese Cross, are typical of the Cederberg.
Add leisure and comfort to your wilderness experience by staying at Algeria in one of the seven self-catering cottages that CapeNature manages in the area. Each has its own unique and quiet setting, and are built within walking distance of secluded river pools. |
| The cottages range from the basic but comfortable to the more stylish and fully equipped. The cottages provide accommodation for between four and eight people.
The Algeria campsite that is situated on the river banks surrounded by shady trees is also legendary among campers.
Reservations include day walks to Waterval, the old Uitkyk Pass and the circular route from Uitkyk to Algeria. |
