Getting into the kloof is a 20 minute walk then a pretty hairy scramble, a fall from which would be lethal. Not at all suitable for young kids or non-climbers.

Ethic inherited from Hidden Kloof

No fire allowed as per “No Fires in Magaliesberg Policy”. There is currently a moratorium on bolting in Magaliesberg.
