Stadsaal cave

There are many ancient rock formations all over the Cederberg Wilderness. The Stadsaal caves are a series of caverns carved into the rocks by thousands of years of erosion. The area was once a sacred site for Bushmen who left their decorative rock art. There are wonderful well-preserved pictures of elephants who once roamed the plains.

You need to have a permit to enter the Cederberg  Wilderness Reserve as it is run by Cape Nature. From Citrusdal take the Algeria turnoff and continue to the Matjiesriver Nature Reserve. The caves are 5 kilometres from the Algeria campsite.
