ITINERARY 
DAY 1: 

Paintings by Bushman (San)We depart for the Cedarberg Wilderness area which lies about 200 km north of Cape Town. The drive takes about 3½ hours.  En route you have the option of cycling the old mountain pass up and/or down to the chalets on the river. 

After lunch, relax and explore the immediate surroundings. The fiery colors of the sandstone formations, the clarity of the air, and the magnificence of the wildflowers contribute to an atmosphere of peculiar enchantment. An evening bike ride to the Bushman paintings is followed by dinner and traditional fireside cheer.
