Kagga Kamma Private game reserve

Kagga Kamma  is located in an untouched wilderness area south of the magnificent Cederberg mountains,high up on the Swartruggens range that separates the Koue Bokkeveld from the vast stretches of the Karoo.  three hours from Cape Town near Ceres, South Africa.

This historical area was once home to the traditional Bushmen. Today, many of their ancient cave paintings can still be seen on the rocks, some even dating back as far as 6 000 years.

The close relationship between the Swartruggens and the Cedarberg is geologically visible in its typical reddish brown weathered sandstone formations, as well as its plant cover, which can be described as a drier mountain fynbos.

Kagga Kamma is largely treeless and is dominated by a variety of shrubs with interesting local names such kakiebos, klaaslouwbos, koringbos, renosterbos, sneeubos, wolwedoring, taaibos and skilpadbessie.

Protea species, so characteristic of the Cape Mountains are not as widespread in the drier Swartruggens region, but do occur in some of the higher areas.

The reserve is well known for its scenic beauty and dramatic rock formations typical of the Cedarberg, has a rich cultural heritage with hundreds of Bushman/San rock paintings or rock art of up to 6000 years old and is a unique safari in South Africa.
