Cederberg: Wolfberg Arch & Cracks Weekend

Two nights under the Cederberg sky, one big day on the mountain. We leave Cape Town on Friday and make camp beside the river at Sanddrif. Saturday is the main event: a full-day hike up through the Wolfberg Cracks, a maze of towering sandstone fissures with steep climbs, scrambling and narrow squeezes, to the Wolfberg Arch, one of the most photographed rock formations in Southern Africa. We eat lunch beneath the Arch, cool off in the rock pools on the way, and walk back to camp for a campfire dinner. This is a long, demanding day (6-8 hours, about 19 km), so come ready to work for it. In return you get ancient sandstone, endemic fynbos, silence, and no cell signal from Friday afternoon until Sunday. You'll be guided by qualified, first-aid-trained local guides who know these mountains and tell the stories that go with them. Small groups of up to 15 guests. Bookings close 2 weeks before departure. Get in touch for dates and full details. Minimum 8 persons to proceed with the tour.
