Maltese Cross

Highlights: This iconic day hike which meanders to the towering rock formation of the Maltese cross is often transformed into an overnight hike allowing you to experience the solitude and amazing night sky that only the Cederberg can offer. We depart Cape Town early in the morning with our customary stop on route for breakfast and coffee. After approx. a 3.5 hours drive we arrive at our starting point in the Cederberg mountains. From here, we load our packs and head for the Maltese cross approximately a 2-hour hike. Here we look to set up camp near the imposing rock formation. The afternoon and evening are spent relaxing, preparing dinner and star gazing in this magical setting.
