South Africa Caving
abseiling-01.jpg (32861 bytes)South Africa Caving: Whilst soaring majestic mountains attract thrill seeking climbers and nature loving hikers, the deep caves inside these mountains attract a different type of thrill seeker. Endless labyrinths of mystical caves keep would-be explorers and discoverers busy for hours on end. Enticing millions from all over the world to discover their hidden marvels, South African caving promises to be a breath-taking and mind blowing journey. South African caving adventures allow you to experience both careful navigating through tight spaces and exploration of huge caverns.

The caves of the Cape have been explored for recreation since the late 1800s. It has been recorded that there are over a hundred caves on the Cape Peninsula. These range from small overhangs to deep cracks on Table Mountain some of which have more than 1km of underground passage. There are numerous caving opportunities in the Cape Peninsula. Peers Cave is easily accessible and access to the cave is from Ou Kaapse Weg. Approximately ten minutes after leaving the car park and just before the end of the sandy track, take a fork to the left. The path narrows as it climbs up very rocky terrain and winds to the right, hugging the cliff just below the peak. You will pass Tunnel Cave before coming upon Peers Cave. This trip will take approximately half an hour.

Kalk Bay Caves penetrate the mountain and can be dangerous. It is recommended that anyone wishing to explore them should contact the CPSS, whose members are familiar with these caves and have appropriate equipment for exploring them. Tartarus Cave is essentially a long passageway and series of chambers that penetrate 50m into the mountain. It is a dangerous cave to explore but it lures and tempts you in. If you insist on going without guidance, we caution you that you will find a large, slippery-edged pit at the end. If you’ve got an adventurous spirit and you’re keen to explore the dark depths of South African caves, you’re assured of magnificent views and a breath-taking journey.

South Africa’s beautiful Elgin Valley, is the western gateway to the Cape Overberg region on the south coast of South Africa. Cradled between the Groenland and Kogelberg mountains, Elgin Valley is exquisitely beautiful and promises unforgettable caving opportunities with incredible sights.

The Drakensberg mountain range is world renowned and exquisitely beautiful. Whilst you may have visited these mountains on many occasions, you have not truly experienced all they have to offer unless you have spent the night in one of the mysterious caves in these mountains.
