Cederberg Conservancy covers some 162,000ha of rugged mountainous terrain stretching from Grootrivier to the Pakhuis Pass. The area is known for its rock formations – striking in both form and the vivid colours – and a rich array of plant and bird life.Diverse wildlife and the continually impressive landscapes make this excellent hiking and biking country – for serious overnight routes and more casual outings. An extensive network of well maintained, albeit unmarked, footpaths are laid out.
