Cedarberg Africa

Cedarberg Africa Cedarberg Africa designs imaginative tours, exclusive safaris and self-drive holidays to Africa. If you share any of these frustrations, we can help you!

Cedarberg Africa was set up by two sisters, Kate Bergh and Ginny Russell, in 1995. We've spent the last 20 working solely with people who want a high value, highly tailor-made safari or holiday in Africa or the Indian Ocean islands. Cedarberg Africa is a family-run business operating from the UK and South Africa. For 17 years we've been helping families, groups and individuals who want a high valu

e, tailormade safari in Africa. We typically help busy, demanding people who are:
Concerned to avoid making the wrong decisions about a "once in a lifetime" trip;
Bewildered by choice or don't know where to start to turn a long-held dream into reality;
Too busy to trawl the chatrooms but don't want to settle for ‘second best’ either. Our consultants have plenty of first hand experience of Africa; most because they were born there and some because they've fallen in love with it as travellers. We've spent time driving the roads, sleeping in the beds and making time to watch the sunrise over the waterhole. We'd like to share it with you. Our clients range from parents anxious to make sure that all the families needs are met on a first-time safari, via time-pressured honeymooners to safari veterans keen to try somewhere "different".

Why use a Specialist Safari Operator?
Let Cedarberg Explain!!

You’re planning a safari… but wondering how to book it?
It’s easy to assume you can do it all online. And yes, you can!

But a safari is not just about choosing a beautiful room.

It’s about the moments you cannot see on a website.
The quality of guiding.
The flow of your itinerary.
The difference between a good sighting and an unforgettable one.

That is where a specialist makes all the difference.

At Cedarberg Africa, our recommendations are built on first hand experience, years of knowledge, and real client feedback. We know what works, what doesn’t, and what will truly elevate your safari.

And the best part?
You get all of this expertise, support, and planning at no extra cost.

From saving you hours of research to being there when plans change, we make sure your safari runs seamlessly from start to finish.

Because a safari should feel effortless.

There’s something incredibly rewarding about exploring South Africa at your own pace.

A self-drive holiday offers true freedom. No fixed schedules, no group travel, just you and the open road. It’s also often better value, especially for couples and families.

With the right planning, it’s surprisingly easy. Roads are generally good and signage is clear, making South Africa one of the best destinations for a self-drive safari.

We’ve planned thousands of self-drive trips, so we know what works and how to keep things enjoyable, not rushed.

The result is the freedom of the open road, with the reassurance that everything has been carefully thought through.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐮𝐧 — 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚’𝐬 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Each year, along South Africa’s Wild Coast, billions of sardines move in vast shoals, triggering one of the most extraordinary wildlife events on Earth.

Often compared to the Great Migration, this is its ocean counterpart.

• Dolphins work together to herd the fish into bait balls.
• Sharks rise from the depths.
• Whales breach.
• Seabirds dive from above.

It’s fast. Unpredictable. Completely wild.
And you’re right there in it.

In 2026, experience this remarkable event with a stay at , where each day of ocean exploration is balanced with space, comfort, and a sense of complete escape.

Head out with expert guides to track the action, then return to a remote coastal lodge overlooking the ocean.

It’s a rare combination of raw nature and refined experience.
No two days are ever the same, and that’s exactly the point!

As always, we can tailor this into a fully customised journey, combining the Sardine Run with safari, Cape Town, or beyond.

If this is your kind of travel, we’d love to share more!

𝐎𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐫:

Nita recently stayed at Rhino Sands Safari Lodge in the Manyoni Private Game Reserve and came away genuinely impressed.

This is an intimate, romantic lodge with a true “Out of Africa” feel — from the English colonial styling to the elevated wooden walkways connecting the lodge.

What stood out:
• 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐥𝐞 & 𝐬𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: Spacious tented suites with outdoor showers, private plunge pools, and views over the river
• 𝐅𝐨𝐨𝐝: Exceptional — beautifully presented and full of flavour (the breakfast tray alone is a feast)
• 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Attentive, personal service with a dedicated butler, and excellent guiding in open vehicles

What truly sets Rhino Sands apart is its commitment to 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.

Located within Manyoni — one of KwaZulu-Natal’s most important conservation success stories — the lodge actively supports ongoing efforts to protect endangered species, particularly rhino. Through partnerships with reserve management and anti-poaching initiatives, guests are not just observing wildlife, but contributing to its future.

It’s a safari that feels more meaningful — where luxury and purpose quietly go hand in hand.

A wonderful option for travellers seeking a more romantic, conservation-led safari in KwaZulu-Natal.

One we’d confidently recommend for the right traveller!!
If this feels like your kind of safari, we’re always happy to share more.

𝐊𝐰𝐚𝐙𝐮𝐥𝐮-𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐥 is one of South Africa’s most underrated travel regions.

From Big Five safari reserves and extraordinary rhino conservation areas to warm Indian Ocean beaches, it offers an incredible mix of experiences in one destination.

It’s also one of the few safari regions that is malaria-free and ideal for family travel — making it a favourite for multi-generational trips.

Baby season in the Bush!!

Late spring and summer (Oct–Jan) is baby season in the bush.

Many of our beautiful antelope give birth after the first rains, while elephants and big cats have calves and cubs throughout the year — with summer offering some of the best chances to spot them.

Why this timing?
• First summer rains = fresh grass
• Mothers have better nutrition
• More food = better milk supply
• Babies are born when conditions are best for survival

These little ones might be small, but they remind us that the bush is full of hope, wonder, and new beginnings.

Which baby animal is your favourite??

As one year fades and another begins, we’re grateful for the journeys, the dream holidays, and the people who made 2025 unforgettable…

2026 is a fresh chapter filled with early mornings, wide & wild horizons, untold stories, and moments that remind us why Africa stays with you long after you leave.

May 2026 bring you moments that feel grounding, awe-inspiring, and unforgettable.

If the bush could whisper one thing for the new year, it would be this:
Slow down. Look closer. Be present.

So here’s to more meaningful journeys, deeper connections, and time spent where and with who it matters most.

We can’t wait to welcome a new year of exploration, beauty, and moments that stay with you forever.

Love
The Cedarberg Team

As the year gently winds down, we took a short pause on social media to do the same 🤍

Between wrapping up the year with our team, spending time together, and a bit of well-deserved travel for some, we allowed ourselves a moment to breathe and reflect.

This year also marked a very special milestone for us — 30 years of Cedarberg Africa!

Three decades of journeys, relationships, and unforgettable experiences, made possible by the incredible people who travel with us and support us along the way.

To all who celebrate Christmas, we hope it was filled with warmth and connection. And to those who don’t, we wish you a peaceful, restful festive season as we move into the final days of the year.

Thank you for being part of our journey in 2025 — we’re looking forward to what lies ahead

From Game drives to Ocean tides. . .

Start your adventure in the untouched wilderness of The Kruger, then swap the bush dinners for Mozambique’s warm island beaches.

With short connection flights, you will be sipping your cocktail while watching the waves before you can even say "Island Holiday!"

So think Big 5, game drives, bush dinners, unreal wildlife experiences, to untouched landscapes, endless white-sandy beaches, and every shade of blue you can imagine.

We've put together the perfect itinerary for this Bush-Beach Bliss!
