Cederberg, Mountain wilderness region in Western Cape, South Africa
The Cederberg mountains extend across 83,000 hectares of land, featuring sandstone formations, deep valleys, and natural pools throughout the protected wilderness area.
San people created numerous rock art sites within the Cederberg mountains thousands of years ago, leaving behind detailed paintings that document their daily lives.
Local farmers maintain traditional methods for growing and processing rooibos tea, which occurs naturally only within this specific region of South Africa.
The wilderness area contains multiple hiking trails, climbing zones, and camping facilities, with permits available at conservation offices in Clanwilliam and Dwarsrivier.
The Cederberg Wilderness Area contains some of South Africa's highest vineyards, producing wines at elevations reaching 1000 meters above sea level.
