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".

Many of our honeymoon clients are keen on a safari and beach honeymoon.

They choose a honeymoon in Africa for the unsurpassed safari experience. But of course they still want some R&R at the end! This is a brilliant solution if one of you is more of an outdoorsy, nature-oriented type and one of you prefers the 'tried and trusted' appeal of a really great oceanside getaway. But it works just as well if both of you need some 'down time'.

We give you all the details to help you choose in our latest blog:

A ‘thousand miles from anywhere’ is the catchphrase. The Seychelles archipelago of 109 islets and six larger islands lies 4º south of the Equator. This means it's outside the cyclone belt, plus it is malaria free.

The Seychelles is as close to a natural visual paradise as you can ever hope to get and a well-known spot for romantics to enjoy its crystal clear waters and sandy beaches.

The ultimate honeymoon destination!

Everyone’s idea of a romantic weekend away is different. Some would love nothing more than to escape the big city lights and head as far into the mountains as possible. While others are thrilled by the idea of luxurious spoils close to the goings-on of urban life.

Singita continues to maintain its worldwide reputation as one of the world's finest and most exclusive safari companies and has two lodges in the Sabi Sands: Singita Boulders and Singita Ebony, both decorated and run to the same immaculate standards but very different in feel.

Both are famous for their luxury and personalized service. We take a closer look at what we love about Boulders:

Singita Boulders has a contemporary African ambience with strong Eastern influences and extensive use of glass. The public areas are open to the bush and showcase the best in modern African décor. A lavishly decorated dining room leads to a hidden surprise downstairs: a well-stocked wine cellar of over 12,000 bottles of the best South African and international vintages, with informal wine-tasting presentations offered by Singita's resident sommelier.

Inspiring the name Boulders was an enormous boulder that sat right in the middle of the place where the wine cellar was to be built. A simple decision was made to build the cellar around the boulder.

When is the best time to visit Zambia - the dry season!

Zambia is the essence of raw Africa, offering some of the finest wildlife experiences.

Here, you can enjoy both night drives and bush walks within the national parks—a rare treat! In fact, Zambia is often called the home off the walking safari!

The guiding here is exceptional, and the lodges are uniquely enchanting. Best time to visit? June to September, when the bush is less dense and wildlife flocks to the rivers.

Game Parks in Zimbabwe: Part 2

Zimbabwe's safari gems continue—today's feature is Mana Pools National Park

Part 2: Mana Pools National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the four pools along the Zambezi River are home to an abundance of wildlife, perfect for photography, canoeing, and unforgettable walking safaris.

Mana Pools is famous for its large numbers of elephants, buffalo, hippo, crocodiles, and eland. They concentrate along the river when the inland waterholes dry up, especially in the dry winter months of June to October. Leopard and lion are here, but not seen as regularly.

This World Heritage Site is one of the least developed national parks in Zimbabwe. Indeed this overwhelming sense of wilderness offers much of the attraction, alongside its wildlife.

Every city has its own special secrets. And where to enjoy the best artisanal food and drink is usually quite high on that list.

The now famous Oranjezicht food market at the historic V&A Waterfront in Cape Town has been highlighted in the Financial Times as one of the best food markets in the world! It is well worth a visit for both locals and visitors—and bring your appetite!

Crafted from a desire to showcase local producers and purveyor's talents, this market has become an institution and is open year-round. We particularly love the night market, where the twinkling lights lend a magical atmosphere to an already wonderful experience.
