Whichever one tickles you it is a worthwhile experience.
•    For the lovers of mountain biking this is activity is not allowed in the Cederberg wilderness areas, but there are a couple of excellent off-road options to enjoy.
•    The Cederberg is well-known for its stunning San rock art on the walls of numerous caves dating back 300 to 6000 years.

In the Cederberg one is aware of the vividly coloured towering walls of rock whose layers are sometimes vertical like the pages of a book standing upright, sometimes parallel and often marvelously folded like a blanked.
