Named after the majestic cedar trees throughout the area, Cederberg is a beautiful getaway for anyone who loves outdoor living. It’s popular for wine and weddings, but who says you should wait for a special occasion to enjoy it?

Plan a week-long trip to the area and make sure to add these to your to-do list:

Water skiing
The Clanwilliam Dam’s clean, calm water is excellent for water sports. Spend a day relaxing at the Dam’s picturesque resort with family and friends.

Citrusdal hot springs
Unwind in one of Citrusdal’s hot-water mineral pools, first discovered in 1742. Also check out the town’s citrus orchards and the nearby fynbos.

Hiking
Explore South African national history with a hike along the Cederberg Heritage Route, featuring Moravian mission villages and indigenous rock art.

Tea tasting
The Cederberg region is the only place on earth that grows Rooibos, so it’s also the best place to get it. Try more than 100 different flavours and blends at NetMar teahouse.
