Setting Description

From exploring the vast farmland to spotting birds and animals, the Cederberg in South Africa is a natural playground that provides an abundance of activities. In caves and mountains, hikers can discover ancient Khoisan rock paintings hidden among the rock formations. Spend time breathing in the cool mountain air, taking a refreshing dip in the spring-fed dams, or admiring the wildflowers. Leopard Valley Eco Retreat provides the perfect base for exploring the spectacular surrounds, where mountain views and sweeping vistas are visible from the comfort of each private deck. Nights are for stargazing and storytelling around a crackling fire, listening to the sounds of nature, and keeping an eye out for one of the resident nocturnal animals like Cape Leopard, Aardvark, African wildcat, Bat-eared fox, Cape fox or porcupine.
