About this place
Kliphuis sits high on the Pakhuis Pass above Clanwilliam, on the northern edge of the Cederberg, a quiet camp surrounded by sculpted sandstone, spring wildflowers and rooibos country. It is a favourite spot for hikers, rock-art enthusiasts and stargazers, with the Sevilla rock-art trail and the wider Cederberg trails close by.
The cool mountain setting comes alive in late winter and spring when the Biedouw Valley and Pakhuis flowers bloom, and the dark skies make it a fine base for astronomy.
Accommodation includes the self-catering Kliphuis cottages, two with wood-fired hot tubs, and a row of unpowered campsites for a simple back-to-nature stay among the rocks.
123 birds recorded here or nearby, including 21 regional endemics and 4 of conservation concern. Tap a bird for stays where it has been recorded and its field notes.
Nothing is hidden, in-season birds simply move to the front. Months come from national records, not from this garden.












These are records, not promises. Wild birds and animals move, so sightings are never guaranteed.
