Catch it on a clear day

We drove through Camdeboo on a foggy day, and could hardly see ten meters out after hiking up the hill for a view into the Valley of Desolation. The fog was beautiful in its own way, but did not leave much scope for viewing wildlife or looking out at the landscape on a more grand scale.

At Camdeboo we especially loved the scenery. Did not see many birds there.

The rock formations in the Camdeboo National Park are awe-inspiring. The well managed trails make it easy to get up close and appreciate this natural spectacle. The nearby town of Graaff-Reinet is a sleepy throwback with some beautiful architecture that makes a pleasant base for exploring. In October, the temperature was perfect, the sights were quiet, and we got some spectacular storms thrown in too.

Small park but lots of animals to see - antelope and monkeys in particular on my visit. Across the road is the spectacular Valley of Desolation ... Breathtaking views of Graaff-Reinet from the top. Have been to this park twice ... Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Great camping facilities too.

The view over looking the Valley of Desolation is magnificent. The wildlife and birding around the dam is an extra bonus.

The trecking in Camdeboo was amazing because of the breathtaking landscapes but it's not a safari destination, it's more of a scenery and cliff destination.
