Kloofing Adventure - Cape Town Safaris

Suicide Gorge - Kloofing ( November to April):  65
Tues & Fri ( or by arrangement, minimum 6 persons)

Get a whole new perspective on hiking with this exhilarating day in the mountains, where you will hike as well as “kloof” (jump) into pools!

The trip involves hiking into a gorge, then following the course of a young river down its rocky descent and jumping into crystal clear pools from heights of 2m to 15m or even higher for the truly kamikaze. Definitely a rush to rival whitewater rafting or bungy jumping, but with a hefty dose of spectacular scenery thrown in.

NOTE: This is a fairly strenuous, but extremely exhilarating experience. It involves a 17km hike and 8 jumps from 3m - 15m. The highest compulsory jump is approx. 5m. ( You will need to be able to jump from a 5m cliff into a pool and swim to the end of the pool)

Before booking this trip, ask yourself:

  • Are you able to hike 20km?
  • Are you able to swim 50m?
  • Are you afraid of heights?
