Camdeboo National Park

Camdeboo National Park

Camdeboo National Park surrounds the town of Graaff-Reinet and covers 19 405 hectares.

The renowned Valley of Desolation, sometimes referred to as the “Cathedral of the Mountains”, provides visitors with awesome panoramic views and an unforgettable experience. Magnificent dolerite pillars rise up to heights of 90 – 120 meters, overlooking the vast karoo plains.

The Park supports a diverse spectrum of wildlife, including buffalo, springbok, steenbok, blesbok, black wildebeest, Cape mountain zebra, red hartebeest, gemsbok, kudu and klipspringer. At least 225 bird species have been recorded in the Park. Visitors can explore the Game Viewing Area which surrounds the Nqweba Dam, in their own vehicles.

Hikers can choose from the 1.5 km Crag Lizard Trail, a 45 minute walk along the rim of the Valley of Desolation, the 11 km Eerstefontein which circles Wildebeeskom in the south western section of the park and the overnight 24 km Driekoppe Hiking Trail in the remote, rugged eastern section of the Park.

The Camdeboo Education Centre provides environmental education programmes. Picnic sites and the Gannalapa outdoor boma are available for visitor use.
