Enjoy some of the best hiking trails in South Africa.

The Cederberg Heritage Route offers a collection of five community-based hiking trails in the Cederberg mountains located in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. They can range from three to five nights duration, depending on optional extra days that may be chosen. The majestic and rugged Cederberg mountains are only 2½ hours drive north from the beautiful city of Cape Town.

Slackpacking hiking trails

The Cederberg hiking trails are fully inclusive of all accommodation, meals, guided rock art visits, donkey cart drives, entrances & park fees. Guests stay at comfortable guesthouses, guest cottages or homestays, some in the picturesque Moravian mission villages. The hikes are escorted by local community members. As overnight luggage is transported to the next night’s stay, walkers only have to carry day packs. These are true slackpacking hiking trails.

If you would prefer to arrange your own hiking trip in the Cederberg we suggest that you consult the “Do-it-Yourself” section in the “Other Activities” page of this website. There you will find information on the accommodation available in various Moravian mission villages and the interesting hiking opportunities in the vicinity of each village. This option is likely to be cheaper than a full-service slackpacking trail.
