Amazing. Must visit whether you are a hiker or climber! We went to the end of winter/beginning of spring. It rained some but not too much and was quite warm some of the days!

Amazing hikes and walks. Recommend 4x4 for comfort although most untarred/gravel roads can be made with regular vehicles. You need to get permits from Cape Nature at various stations and in summer carry lots of water, hat, sunglasses and sunscreen. Start early if possible on day hikes so you avoid midday sun/heat. Buy permit day in advance so you can access hikes etc for early starts. Check difficulty levels if hiking with children. Maps available online or when you buy permits. Maltese Cross is 4-5 hour hike out and back - we powered up in about 1.5hrs so can be done quicker but worth allowing recommended times.

Camped at Algeria. Staff enjoyed the load shedding (do brooms need electricity?), but the bathrooms were clean. The Cederberg are an experience, a must whether by car or on foot! Ansolutely magnificent!

Please note that the NC has many routes that is still dirt roads. The road from Clanwilliam via Doringbos river to Calvinia is one such road. It starts from Clanwilliam as a paved road, but suddenly ends up a dirt road. It is not recommended to take this road with a small or even medium sized city car. The 80 km stretch with many rippled sections took us nearly 3 hours. If you do take the route please watchout for turtles crossing the roads. Stay on main routes like N7 if you are in a small vehicle.

The drive into the Wilderness area is a hectic gravel, stony road for about 15 km as it inclines, but worth it when you get to your destination. Went to Algeria Cederberg..
