Itinerary
Pick up time from your hotel is at 0545
After arrival at the Smalblaar River
The day starts with a light breakfast at the starting point
Everyone then makes and packs their sandwiches, changes into their wet gear as well as fitting
helmets and harnesses. There is a short 15 minute walk of about 400m that we then
take to get down to the waterfalls where we will spend the day.
There are 9 waterfalls ranging in height from 5 meters up to 45 meters, the larger 6
(15 – 45 meters) we abseil down, depending on water levels and group sizes, but you
will be guaranteed of a minimum of 4 waterfall abseils. The other waterfalls provide
us with scrambles and safety lines to descend.
There is a point of no return after the third waterfall abseil and thus this trip is not
for the faint hearted as the larger waterfalls are 45m/ 35m/ 30m
The second waterfall provides us with a beautiful jump pool with voluntary jump
options ranging from 2m/ 3m/ 6m/ 10m/ 12m/ 14m/ 15m/ 16m.
Depending on group size (max 8) we could be back in the City by 1800
Please bring along a warm jacket
This is a mind blowing test of your inner strength as well as your physical capability especially in winter.
