Leaving Eland’s Bay we stop at Lambert’s Bay, the seafood hot spot of the West Coast!

Lambert’s Bay is known as the Diamond of the West Coast, and the crayfish mecca of South Africa. Alluvial diamonds are also brought up from the ocean floor, thanks to those crazy, leathery local divers.

Delightful views of dolphins, whales and the ever-entertaining seals at the internationally acclaimed Bird Island where tens of thousands of seabirds create a deafening cacophony, not forgetting the lush stretches of wild field flowers that are most beautiful during spring. On our way to the Cederberg we visit a cooperative “Rooibos” farm where the famous SA tea is grown.

This unique health-enhancing Rooibos plant is only found in the area. Then a visit through the historical town of Clanwilliam which is situated on the Olifants river.

Finally, we enter the Cederberg with our accommodation situated appropriately for our hike tomorrow.

The Xam lived in the Cederberg for over 500 000 years, but stopped painting about 200 years ago, disrupted by European colonialists. Depending on levels of fitness we can walk to the awe inspiring and popular Maltese Cross. (walk 3-4 hours) The heady fragrance of indigenous fynbos is intoxicating. Not to mention the incredible mountains and rock formations. Picnic snack here in this beautiful wilderness area.

A 3rd option is a visit to the huge Wolfberg Arch and cracks. (walk 6 km) NB: It is possible to visit the paintings and do one of the longer hikes.
