Your Guide to the Drakensberg and Natal Midlands

Citusdal - Western Cape South Africa

Citusdal is situated in the Wine lands of the Western Cape Province in South Africa. Between Piketberg and Citrusdal is a steadily climbing mountain road over Piekeniers Kloof Pass. The awe-inspiring view from the top (518m) shows an endless broad flat valley, green in winter and pure gold from ripening wheat in the spring. The first explorers in 1660 crossed this mountain to find a lush river valley grazed by hundreds of elephants. 

Citrusdal Western Cape South Africa They named it Olifants (Elephants) River. On its banks lies the thriving fruit farming area of Citrusdal where, in spring, the air is heavy with orange blossom from thousands of citrus groves. Sacks of juicy oranges are sold on the roadside for a handful of change and the oldest fruit tree in the country has been dated here at over 160 years old. Citrusdal also attracts visitors for its hot mineral baths, and testimonials to the healing powers can be seen inscribed on rocks near the springs.
