Baviaanskloof Activities
Waterkloof Hiking Trail
Bo-Kloof offers this amazing hiking trail to their guests as well as to day visitors.
Waterkloof is a must-see activity when visiting the Baviaanskloof. It requires at least an hour and a half, but one could spend the whole day in this almost magical environment.
On a hot day the Waterkloof is the ideal place to spend some time!
Skollie the Bezuidenhout’s dog has become quite famous as the official hiking guide on the farm.
The hike involves some scrambling but no climbing and the further you go, the narrower and higher the kloof becomes.
The distance is about three kilometers and day visitors have to get a permit from Bo-Kloof reception.
