Cave Waterfall

Cave Waterfall
This is a beautiful spot in the Cape Mountains. There are only two places in the whole of South Africa where a waterfall has created a hole in the roof of a cave, and runs directly through it and this is one of them. It requires about an hour and a half drive from Cape Town, and can be reached on a short walk, or be part of a longer outing. It is not accessible during winter and is usually visited during the warm summer weather when its possible to swim in the surrounding pools.
As this is a hidden place, and unknown to the tourist industry, the PDF attached, is unlocked after a small fee is paid. The PDF contains full details on how to get to this incredible place along with other fascinating information about the area.
