GECKO CREEK

A top-of-the-range backpacker in the heart of a 500-hectare nature reserve is a rarity! What's more, it's at the entrance to the Cederberg Park Reserve, which itself is immense, covering some 80,000 ha. The Olifant River is not far away either, so you can enjoy a picnic by the water. There are tents and cabins overlooking the sandstone rock valley, a well-equipped self-catering kitchen and even a swimming pool. As for the atmosphere: singing and percussion around the campfire, braai, walks through the reserve, reading in comfortable hammocks..
