GO Baviaans: Cedar Falls Day Hike

About GO Baviaans: Cedar Falls Day Hike

The Cedar Falls Day Hike, managed by GO Baviaans, is widely considered one of South Africa's premier one-day hiking experiences. This out-and-back trail takes you deep into a rugged kloof (gorge) in the Baviaanskloof World Heritage Site, culminating at a spectacular waterfall. Distance: Approximately 8 km to 11 km total (out and back). Duration: 4–6 hours, depending on fitness and time spent swimming. Difficulty: Moderate. While mostly manageable, it involves rock clambering and two compulsory swims through narrow gorges. Exclusivity: The trail is strictly only for guests staying at the Cedar Falls Base Camp accommodation.
