Baviaanskloof
Bo-Kloof camping site

Bo-Kloof in the Baviaanskloof offers a unique hiking experience!

As far as Baviaanskloof accommodation goes, Bo-Kloof offers top camping facilities. Situated on a working farm, the camping sites are set among shady trees on a lovely green lawn. The ablutions are clean with plenty of hot water available. If you have a long enough lead, you can also connect to electricity. Big fireplaces round off the camping facilities.

For the adventurous there is a 4X4 trail as well as two hiking trails of which, the Waterkloof hiking trail is absolutely magnificent.

	The entrance to the campsite at Bo-Kloof. The hosts, Quintis and Anina Bezuidenhout really went out of their way to make us feel at home. I whole heartedly recommend Bo-Kloof.
	The campsite is well looked after. We really enjoyed our stay here.
	Plenty of space to wander about...
	This is one of two tortoises that we came across in the veld.
	Meet Skollie! Skollie is the official guide for the Waterkloof trail. He meets you at the office, runs ahead and checks back often to make sure you are following. He leads you all the way to the end of the trail and then back home again.
	And off he goes again, taking the lead...I am not sure who enjoyed the company more. Us or Skollie!
	My sister in law, Verona, Skollie and my wife Ronell at the entrance to Waterkloof.
	Although the hiking trail is not very long, the going is quite rough in places as it follows the river bed which is very rocky, so make sure you have a decent pair of hiking shoes.
	The kloof rapidly narrows and walls tower above you. Impressive stuff!
	Around every turn is another magnificent setting! The walls are so high that you cannot fit it in your camera lens...
	My wife and I with some beautiful ferns as backdrop...
	In places the walls open up a bit and you find the most lovely plants and trees growing among the rocks.
	Clumps of Arum lilies grows among the rocks...
	Unfortunately the flowering season was over at the time we were there early in December. I imagine that it must have been something else a couple of weeks earlier when all the Arum lilies were in bloom...
	The riverbed just cuts through the mountainside, narrowing to a crack in places...
	In places it is so narrow that you can touch both walls...
	The going is slow in places as you scramble over the rocks...
	This section is so deep and narrow it feels more like caving than walking down the canyon!
	And Skollie faithfully waits to lead us home again...
