Karukareb Lodge

Karukareb Wildernis Reservaat (Wilderness Reserve) is located in a secluded kloof, surrounded by the Krakadouw mountains at the foot of the Cederberg Wilderness Area. Here you will find the untouched beauty of the Cederberg, with its dramatically beautiful scenery and fascinating history. Explore this haven of natural tranquility on a guided horseback tour, on foot or with mountain bikes.

Enjoy swimming in clear rock pools, hiking on pristine mountain tracks or simply relax and let us spoil you at the elegantly restful lodge. Total privacy guaranteed and number of guests strictly limited to retain your wilderness experience. Karukareb also offers professional guided tours with our Luxury Bus.

To enhance visitors' experience of this unspoilt environment, guest numbers are carefully limited. A number of outdoor activities are available to explore and enjoy Karukareb's natural assets.

A HIKING TRAIL along the valley floor offer easy and less strenuous opportunities to explore, determined by your own range and pace. More challenging and longer hikes are available in the Cederberg mountains nearby and ranges from a few hours to overnight hikes.

GUIDED HORSE TRAILS, lead by experienced guides, offer a unique opportunity to experience the wilderness on horseback. No experience is needed, since the horses are well-trained and due to the rocky terrain a slow walking pace is mostly adhered to. We only ride as fast as the least experienced rider feels comfortable with.

MOUNTAIN BIKING is another fun way to experience the pristine outdoor environment. A mountain bike for your exclusive use is included in your Dinner, Bed and Breakfast package.

WILD FLOWERS cover the open spaces in springtime as far as the eye can see in a good year from end July to October, depending on the rainfall. The whole West Coast and Namaqualand is famous for this amazing phenomenon and it is well-worth seeing.

Whichever way you choose to experience Karukareb, your soul will be replenished by the wide open spaces, the inspiring mountain scenery, the diversity of plant and animal life and the tranquility of nature around you. You have not seen stars, until you experience the night sky in the Cederberg!
