The experience

Enter the Cederberg through a split in the sandstone

Water and weather have opened deep corridors through the Cederberg's sandstone wall.

The hike enters those cool, narrow cracks before emerging onto an exposed mountain plateau.

Experience FAQ

Hike through Wolfberg Cracks

Q01Does the hike continue to Wolfberg Arch?

It can, but the longer route requires more time and fitness. The final plan distinguishes the Cracks hike from the full Arch day.

Q02Is scrambling involved?

Yes on some passages. The guide selects a route appropriate to ability and current access.

Plan with Alex

Plan the Wolfberg Cracks hike

Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.

We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.

Portrait of Alex

I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
