Rock Climbing
Rock Climbing in South Africa is an exhilarating and awesome experience whether you’re a novice climber or of a more advanced level. The most popular location is Mpumalanga located in the east of SA, north of KwaZulu Natal and bordering Swaziland. Inside this region lies the Drakensburg Escarpment which rises to 3482metres. Of all the cliffs to explore the most famous is Waterval Bowen (also known as The Restaurant). Riddled with crags and cliffs this site is one of the best in SA and maybe even the world.
Also consider Table Mountain just outside Cape Town for you climbing adventure – the views and the sunsets are stupendous from the top! Further afield but still within the Cape Town area is the magnificent Cederberg. This is a world-class boulder area and boasts some of the best trad rock climbing routes in the country.
