Overview
The Ultimate Cederberg safari is 3 nights at Cederberg Ridge Wilderness Lodge, in the heart of the Cederberg Mountains. This is your base to explore the varied delights of this unique wilderness region of mountains, rock art, rooibos tea, complete tranquility and wilderness.
Key Highlights of Ultimate Cederberg:
- Private road transfers from Cape Town (or the Winelands), just 2Β½ hours away
- Fully inclusive stay with guided activities and gourmet dining
- Explore the Cederbergβs dramatic landscapes, rock art, and fynbos
- Relax with spa treatments, poolside views, and stargazing by the firepit
- Stylish design blending natural textures with contemporary flair
Various included excursions are on offer: from walking trails to mountain biking. From guided rock art to sunset boat cruises on the lagoon, and from Cederberg tours to flowers & farm tours. This is all on a seasonal three-night programme.
At the lodge, you can relax around the pool or pamper yourself with a spa treatment, complete with sauna and steam room. Enjoy star-gazing at the fire-pit in the evening.
The lodge overlooks the panorama of the Cederberg Mountains with its unique raw, rugged beauty. It offers the authentic ambience of a modern African farmhouse with much use of wood, natural materials and earthy tones. Yet the striking steel windows bring a contemporary touch. With 11 spacious rooms and suites, restaurant with a view, two swimming pools, and indigenous gardens flowing into the veld, Cederberg Ridge offers tranquility and style in the midst of wilderness.
Climate
The Cederberg is the warmest (and driest) place in the Western Cape so it's an ideal for the start, or end, of summer when other places may be turning autumnal. Also great to combine with Cape Town and a safari during the safari season (June to October).
Walking - The Ultimate Cederberg trip is ideal if you enjoy being active with a choice of self-guided walking and mountain biking trails direct from the lodge. Mountain bikes available for your use.
