Kloofing in Cape Town: The Ultimate Guide to Canyoning Adventures.
A kloofing (South Africa’s name for canyoning) adventure introduces you to the mountain ecology of the Cape. The Cape Fold Belt, of which Table Mountain is a part, hides magical river systems and are covered by the very special vegetation type called fynbos. A kloofing trip a short distance from cape Town, exploring one of these hidden kloofs in the heat of summer, is an exciting day of rock hopping, leaping from cliffs up to 24-meters high and cooling off in pristine mountain pools. Your qualified adventure guides will lead you through a labyrinth of waterfalls, rocks and pools and share their knowledge of this unique environment. They’ll help to identify birds and other creatures, including some of the animals you might see, like baboon, or animals you will not see (but who are there) like leopards.
Helmets and wetsuits (when it’s cold) are provided and some tours recommend a stop at a hearty country eatery for a late lunch and cool drink after all the exciting business of leaping from cliffs.
