Kloofing in Tsitsikamma, South Africa.
Many adventure activities in the Tsitsikamma region set off from Storms River Village, a tranquil little forest-hugged town in the foothills of the Tsitsikamma Mountains. This is where you will embark on your kloofing expedition, an adventure that involves working your way down a river course and navigating obstacles like waterfalls, boulders and pools. Kloofing has a long history in South Africa- since the 1920s. A unique set of characteristics- warm weather, hard quartz sandstone, and an abundance of rivers- provided a perfect playground for this activity. The Storms River Gorge is no exception. It is rugged, remote, and astoundingly beautiful. Its high cliff walls, with primal forest peeping over the edge, and amber waters are renowned.
Operators provide specialized equipment as well as highly trained adventure guides so that your kloofing experience will be exciting but safe. You just need to be a bit of a water-baby, reasonably fit and have a good sense of adventure.
