Stop for tea and a swim in the rock pools. A climb to the top of this sandstone-carved kloof is reached with the assistance of a cable and ladders. The route then hugs the contours under the cliffs. Energetic hikers can climb to the summit of the Sinkoijella s at 7599 ft. It then descends to Bambookloof , from there it is a short walk to the Barolong overnight camp, nestled under a magnificent sandstone overhang-cave.
Hikers sleep in the open under the overhang or in the traditional wattle and daub rooms.
From here one can watch the end of a rewarding day in beautiful natural surroundings. The second day s hike goes along the sandstone cliffs amongst a rich variety of flora, past the Porcupine look out point. Then on to the last of the waterklowe - the favourite being the secluded Witgatbad or wallow in one of seven pools before the trail meanders across the veld and takes one back to the basecamp. The three-day hiker will follow the contours next to Jacobsberg to the Sphinx Mountain Hut. Then along cultivated lands and veld back to Base-camp.
