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".

Where the towering dunes of the Namib Desert meet the Atlantic Ocean, you'll find one of Namibia's most spectacular landscapes.

A 4×4 excursion to Sandwich Harbour is equal parts adventure and natural wonder. Traverse towering dunes, discover pristine wetlands teeming with birdlife, and stop at breathtaking viewpoints along one of the country's most iconic coastlines. Every trip is shaped by the tides, making each experience unique.
jantjies thoughts:
"The contrast between the towering dunes of the Namib Desert and the Atlantic Ocean creates one of the most breathtaking landscapes I have ever seen.

Pro Tip: If you have time, I'd recommend staying three nights in Swakopmund. This gives you time to enjoy both the Living Desert Tour and the 4×4 Sandwich Harbour dune excursion, which was a dream come true for me."

A Namibia safari is an exhilarating and richly varied experience.

One day you're scanning the vast Etosha salt pan for elephant and lion; a few days later, watching first light ignite the towering dunes of Sossusvlei. From the stark beauty of the Namib Desert to the lush waterways of the Zambezi region, Namibia is defined by contrast, scale and space.

Often translated as the "place of vast, arid plains", Namibia is home to gemsbok, springbok, kudu, desert-adapted elephant and rhino, all thriving across its remarkable landscapes.

But Namibia is not only about wildlife. It is also about sculpted mountains, extraordinary light and the powerful sense of perspective that comes from travelling through such immense terrain.

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.

Head over to our website to explore our self-drive holiday options.

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.
