Day Hikes

Day hikes in the area vary from 1 – 8 hours.

These hikes are moderate and your personal level of fitness should guide you in deciding which route to follow.

The seasons in the Cederberg are harsh.

Always carry enough water, warm clothes and snacks when embarking on any hike. Travel in groups of at least two. Groups are limited to a maximum of 12. Groups must not split up as this could result in group members getting lost and having to spend an unplanned night in the mountains.
