Kloofing

The 5 hour trip begins 40 km from Hoedspruit, near the Strydom Tunnel, bordering Mpumalanga and the Limpopo Provinces. Kitted out with life jackets and helmets, guest wind their way down a small gorge, jumping from heights ranging from 1-8 metres into crystal clear mountain spring water. If you don’t want to jump, walk down to the bottom of the pool.

One section requires the guest to crawl through a maze of caves formed by centuries of water carving out of brittle rock.  Once trough the caves, guest are taken to a magnificent Tufa Waterfall to wash of the sand and mud.  Visit a cave, boasting its own fresh water spring and the most peculiar fresh water eel, which almost always emerges to see whether the guides brought him a morsel.

The rest of the trip zigzags across the river and trough a spectacular riverine forest, until you finally emerge on the banks of the Olifants river where your transport is waiting with a cold drink and snack.
