Kagga Kamma in the magical Cederberg
After the last 18 months, I’m more than ready for a sojourn of tranquillity and peace. Utter bliss awaits in a Cave or Hut Suite, complete with homely comforts, bathroom amenities and a coffee or tea station, so you can rise early to enjoy a warm beverage with a breath-taking view. And if that’s not enough, enjoy a range of excursions where you can experience the very best of what this region has to offer. And come home to a refreshing swimming pool, world-class spa and an outdoor Boma dining experience set the scene for a relaxing break.
If camping is more your style, then you’ll love the rugged and undiscovered wilderness which makes Kagga Kamma a bucket-list destination of note for camping enthusiasts. Secluded and set against the backdrop of fascinating rock formations, the camping grounds provide for an environment conducive to digital detoxing.
