Your Options:

“All in 1 Day”

Due to popular request we now offer an one day Kloofing trip. The route is similar to the Classic Option, including 3 abseils boulder-hopping, swimming, karoo bush whacking. Lunch and guiding all included.

“2 Day Classic”

We’ll begin on Friday evening with a “carbo-loading” dinner and safety briefing**. The next day we’ll enter the Gorge via various abseils and “kloof”, raft and swim our way to the overnight site for (in-)escapable jumps into mountain pools and dinner cooked on a open fire. On the third day we’ll be exploring and boulder hopping upriver all the way to the top of the Nuy River Gorge. By late after noon we’ll be back at Simonskloof Mountain Retreat, where you can opt for the mouth watering Braai till deep into the night and sleep over another night at the Mt. Retreat, or head slowly back to civilisation…

“On your Own”

The gorge is your kingdom… From the top down or bottom up. Choose your own kloofing route. Over night or do the fast one. We’ll supply map and some advice –if you want- you’ll bring the rest. This option is for the experienced Kloofers only. Check ALL waters before jumping into pools!

What some “Kloofers” had to say:

- What an INSANE spot, can’t wait to come back – Dave – The first Kiwi to negotiate the Nuy River Gorge, definitely one of the Best!!! – Kay G. – The most challenging experience of my life. I found my self doing things beyond my limits, discovering muscles I didn’t know I had… – Stephanie – I’ve wondered about the Nuy River Gorge Kloofing for so long, but this exceeded expectation, very special!
