The Return Leg
The
following activities are only available for the return leg of
the trip |
|
Cango
Caves  |
The
Cango Caves are regarded as one of South Africa's foremost natural
wonders. They owe their origin to a geological fault in the Swartberg
mountains, known to the San as the Kango. Water, time and chemistry
have combined over hundreds of thousands of years to create a
castle of carved caverns, corridors and dripstone formations deep
within the mountainside. The largest of the chambers is the Grand
Hall, 107 metres across and 16 metres high. The intricate calcite
stalactites and stalagmites range from the miniature to the massive,
many of them with picturesque names such as Lot's Wife and the
Organ Pipes. Experience the African underworld on a two hour hike through the maze of crystal-covered caves, working up a good appetite before enjoying a picnic in the Grand Hall. Duration: Full-Day ( 8 hrs) |
