For the next seven days, until Sunday, 16 September, the park is yours to explore.

At the Camdeboo National Park visitors will get a chance to see animals and plants of every hue in their natural environment.

The park provides some of the most breath-taking scenery of the region. The major part of the park lies in the foothills of the Sneeuberg range, but one of the main reasons for visiting the park is the Valley of Desolation, also known as the ‘Cathedral of the Mountains’.
