Cederberg

After a steep climb up to the start of the cracks, some rock scrambling, crawling beneath and between boulders that have lodged themselves in the narrow crack, you are only halfway there. The Wolfberg plateau is rocky, but well trodden, making the going easy. And as you tread closer, the tiny hole in a rock becomes a grand natural archway. Interesting rock features are aplenty on this trail and all over the Cederberg.

Superb views of the Cederberg — Away from the rush of city life, only dirt roads link to the Cederberg. Its beauty unfolds to those who venture further within. Being on foot allows you to have this perspective. My most recent visit was in the heat of summer, but that did not deter me from tackling an 8 hour hike through the iconic Wolfberg Cracks and onwards to the Arch.
