Once upon a time
Not so long ago, three individuals saw the potential of this beautiful terrain.
In 1986 Willie de Waal, Pieter de Waal and Pieter Loubser bought Kagga Kamma as well as three adjacent farms. The owners immediately saw the potential of the beautiful and secluded 15 000 hectare properties.
In 1987 a small stone cottage was built to allow the owners to entertain friends at Kagga Kamma. It was love at first sight for the visitors. The owners soon realised that people wanted to share and preserve the area on a wider basis and decided to turn Kagga Kamma into a Nature Reserve in 1988. To provide the best quality water to the reserve the owners bought Grootvlei Farm in 1989.
They built the first chalets and introduced some antelope species to the reserve. From there Kagga Kamma grew into what it is today: a luxurious resort in an unique environment that is continuously striving to offer guests memorable experiences while preserving the natural environment.
Kagga Kamma has a little something for everyone
Breathe in the fresh air and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the Lodge. Kagga Kamma not only offers guests spectacular scenery and absolute tranquility but also stylish accommodation, fine dining and exclusive tours and activities - all included when you book your stay.
The Cederberg area is unique in that it comprises an untouched Karoo-like wilderness where guests will find beautiful wild flowers and small critters that are scarcely seen in other parts of the country. Kagga Kamma is equally unique in that it offers guests experiences and facilities they will not find anywhere else. Choose from a variety of accommodation types which include our Cave Suites, our Outcrop Open Air Room and our luxurious Thatched Rondavels for an experience of the surroundings in the most magical way possible.
Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve offers guided 4x4 and quad bike safaris, hiking trails and star gazing at the mini Observatory. Guests can relax at the resort's swimming pool while marveling at the rock formations it's built around. The Spa offers exclusive wellness treatments to relax and rejuvenate and guests can enjoy a sundowner as the sky changes colour in the late afternoon. Guests can also look forward to picturesque views of the Karoo-like landscape in winter and summer.
What past guests have had to say
"Thank you so much to the awesome Kagga Kamma team for taking such good care of us during our visit. We had such a great time being amongst such wonderful people. Your staff members are all so friendly. We enjoyed sleeping in the cave rooms; not something one does every day. They are so well equipped and comfortable - highly recommendable!"
"We had an absolutely amazing time at Kagga Kamma. Your setting and surrounds are truly breathtaking - something one doesn't get to experience in the city.”
"We had a great visit… The staff were excellent. We found the location and setting to be stunning, and we're sorry that we did not spend more time at Kagga Kamma. The Bushman rock art tour was an experience! Thank you once again; it was a real treat."
