Ceres Self Drive Routes in Ceres, Western Cape (original) (raw)

Ceres is a spectacularly scenic part of the Western Cape, and is a fabulous destination for those wanting to explore the Cape via road. Although somewhat small, Ceres is divided into four unique areas.

The 1) Warm Bokkeveld is one of the most abundant in terms of natural agricultural resources. This area envelops Ceres and Prince Alfred Hamlet.

The 2) Bo-Swaarmoed is situated at the foot of the Matroosberg Mountain Range and is famous for its farms. The views of the Ceres Valley are breath-taking here. Visitors often visit Bo-Swaarmoed to pick cherries or to see the snow in winter.

The 3) Koue Bokkeveld is home to a small village, and is renowned for its apples, pears and vegetables.

The 4) Ceres Karoo is semi-arid, with breath-taking views and priceless natural resources.
