Cederberg Oasis
Key Collection from 1 Oct. 2024 onwards (-32.55121 19.36112)
Keep travelling straight on a good dirt road towards Cederberg Oasis where you must stop to collect the chalet keys.
ALTHOUGH A 4 WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE IS NOT NECESSARY, A VEHICLE WITH HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE IS ESSENTIAL.
Although the reserve can be accessed from the N7 (turnoff 26 kms beyond Citrusdal, travelling towards Clanwilliam), we would recommend entering the Cederberg via the R44 from the N1.
Turnoff the N1 onto the R44 and travel through the outskirts of Wellington towards Ceres (33° 22°01° S 19°18°57E). Halfway through Ceres, turn left towards Prince Alfred Hamlet on the R303. Refuel at Prince Alfred Hamlet (last chance) and carry on up the Gydo Pass to Op die Berg (33°00°45°S 19°18°53°E). Approximately 500 metres beyond Op die Berg turn right towards the Cederberg. The tar ends 18 kms from the turnoff. Keep travelling straight on a good dirt road towards Cederberg Oasis (-32.55121 19.36112) where you must stop to collect the chalet keys. From Cederberg Oasis to Matjiesrivier gate (32° 29° 58° S 19° 20° 21° E ) is 6.2 kms.
The Cedar Rock entrance gate is on your right hand side at the crossroad. Once through, please relock the gate and travel on to your chalet, using the reserve’s internal route map which you can download from our website.
The first 18 kms after the gate (CAPE NATURE CONSERVATION ROAD) is very bumpy and should be driven at low speed. Once through our main entrance gate, the road surface improves, but low speeds should still be maintained so as not to alarm the game.
