Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve is tucked away in the wilderness of the Swartruggens area, in the peaceful Southern Cederberg Mountains, in the Western Cape of South Africa. The Reserve is renowned for its rich and fascinating cultural heritage, spectacular scenery, ancient Rock Art sites, amazing indigenous fauna and flora, phenomenal night skies, and small critters that are scarcely seen in other par
ts of South Africa. The San and Khoi people roamed and called these ancient lands home, many years ago and today guests can see traces of their existence in the unique Rock Art that dates back 500 to potentially 6000 years. The unique accommodation options add to the sense of adventure and the ‘Cave’ Suites beautifully integrate with the sandstone rock formations, while the spacious Hut Suites resemble the traditional dwellings inhabited by the clans of the area many moons ago. For the ultimate accommodation experience, one can spend a night under the stars in the world-famous open-air suites, without any compromise on comfort. This colour-rich destination truly is a natural wonder. It offers a remarkable experience that combines some of the Cederberg's most incredible features. From mountain ranges and towering mountain peaks unfolding across the horizon, to captivating ancient history - the San and Khoi cultures and the footprint of oneness with nature they left behind in their stunning rock paintings and engravings, and the lithics found all over the Reserve. From the strange, contorted rock formations that tease the eye with hints of familiar shapes, to the endless Karoo-like wilderness and fynbos plains that supports a diverse and fascinating array of flora and fauna. The quietness here is almost audible; something so pure and deep in the wide-angle space. The remoteness and the absence of light pollution, ensures clear night skies, which makes Kagga Kamma the perfect destination to view the billions of stars that seem so close you feel like you could reach out and touch them. Every moment is enhanced by the Reserve's commitment to conservation and sustainability practices and the Lodge is completely off-grid, with power supplied by an on-site solar farm, which also means NO LOAD SHEDDING! Facilities such as the swimming pool, intimate bar area, restaurant and superb spa featuring an open-air massage suite, provide ample opportunities to relax, unwind and savour the delights that the Lodge offers. Nature Drives, Rock Art Tours, Star Gazing, Hiking and Quad Bike Safaris are just some of the doorways to a world of new experiences. Kagga Kamma is truly a nature lover’s paradise.
