Cederberg Municipality

The Cederberg region is just two hours from Cape Town, but it offers a completely different landscape: wilder, warmer, and filled with raw, dramatic beauty. Clanwilliam and Citrusdal feature towering mountains, stunning purple and orange sunsets, and the sweet scent of orange blossoms in spring. Lamberts Bay and Elands Bay are known for their perfect waves for surfing.
