Via Ferrata in the Northern Cape is a one-of-a-kind climbing adventure that lets you experience the rugged beauty of South Africa’s landscapes in a bold new way. Located at Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm near Nieuwoudtville, this is South Africa’s first official Via Ferrata – a secured climbing route that combines metal rungs, ladders, and cables to help you safely scale the dramatic cliffs of the Oorlogskloof Gorge.
Perfect for beginners and experienced adventurers alike, the Via Ferrata offers an accessible yet adrenaline-packed way to explore the vertical world. With safety equipment and guidance available, you can focus on the incredible views and the thrill of the climb, rather than technical climbing skills.
The route weaves through spectacular rock formations and offers panoramic views over the surrounding canyon and farmlands, making it an unforgettable outdoor experience in the heart of the Northern Cape. It’s more than just a climb—it’s a full immersion into one of South Africa’s most scenic and untouched regions.
