We depart Cape Town and travel to Matroosberg Reserve, passing through the historical towns of Tulbagh and Ceres. We then traverse the awesome Bain's Kloof Pass and spend the first afternoon at the Reserve perfecting abseil techniques. The evening is passed pleasantly with a traditional South African braai (BBQ) and we fall asleep under the African night sky.

Be prepared for an early start! We clamber onto the old Military 4x4 and travel to the start of the canyon at 1920 metres above sea level. A hearty breakfast sets us ready for the descent into the canyon. Soon we begin down the series of abseils - over cliffs and down waterfalls! We hike along the waterway to the campsite where we spend the second night sleeping

Another early morning sees us heading into the narrow part of the gorge after breakfast. Expect more exciting abseils as we follow the waterway down. You'll get to 'bum slide' a fair amount and there's also a low pool jump. We eventually reach and follow a flat trail out to a hut. From here we hike to the vehicle and head back to Matroosberg Reserve by late
