There’s no single best time to visit the Cederberg, but there are certainly better times for some things than others. Summer is hot and dry, winter brings rain and cold nights, and then spring arrives with the flowers. Autumn sits somewhere between the two.
The Cederberg Wilderness Area is a scenically beautiful and rugged region, managed by CapeNature and forming part of the Cape Floral Region World Heritage Site. There are hiking trails, rock formations, waterfalls and mountain pools to explore, but when you visit can make quite a difference to what you’ll experience.
