Wolfkop Nature Reserve is a private 450-hectare property about 5km from Citrusdal at the foothills of the Cederberg. The official hiking page lists three circle routes: Planet Baboon Trail 3km (starts behind Harpuis House), Leopard Trail 8km (from the Kokerboom House turn-off), and Wolfkop Trail, titled as a 10km circle (the same page also writes 12km / about 3.5 hours). No water on the trails. Phone 083 260 5071, info@wolfkopnaturereserve.co.za. The site does not publish a day-visitor rand tariff — book with the operator. This is not CapeNature’s Cederberg Wilderness (Wolfberg Arch / Maltese Cross).

Before you go, read Wolfkop Nature Reserve guide.
