Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve, Cederberg

Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve, located in the heart of the Cederberg region, South Africa, provides an escape to a true African wilderness area, unlike any other. With accommodation options moulded against the incredible sandstone rock formations and contrasting landscapes of mountain, rocky outcrops and fynbos plains, this protected Nature Reserve offers a remote, back-to-nature retreat that provides for peace, tranquillity and relaxation. Here, guests can ‘unplug’ from a hyper-connected digital world and their bustling city lives, to experience the restorative benefits of a getaway close to nature, and a place undisturbed by modern technology.

Kagga Kamma’s guest experience focuses on a combination of encounters which highlight the unique, natural environment and cultural history embedded in the heart of the Kagga Kamma story. Educational Rock Art Tours delve into the past, Guided Nature Drives address the fascinating geological environment and the fauna and flora, and Stargazing Tours fill the evening air with sounds of wonder at a sky ablaze with stars that appear so close, you can almost reach out and touch them.

The Lodge's facilities have been designed with every comfort in mind; creating unique and interesting spaces which lend towards a relaxing holiday environment. The swimming pool is set against the backdrop of sandstone rock formations with loungers; creating the space to soak up the sun or enjoy a good book. Kagga Kamma Restaurant offers South African cuisine, presented: in the dining room where the fireplace crackles throughout winter, outdoors on the breakfast terrace under shade, or in the boma, around a bonfire and under a night sky full of stars. Guests are also treated to a range of massage therapy packages at Kagga Kamma Spa, where African oils and body butter are paired with professional service and astonishing views of the fynbos plains from the Open Air treatment room, or in the privacy of a private room.

It is a wondrous encounter with the natural world that can only be fully understood once you’ve experienced it for yourself. A Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve adventure means stepping into another world and discovering a whole new perspective.
