Stop for tea and a swim in the rock pools. A contour path climbs to the top of this sandstone-carved kloof. The route then hugs the contours under the cliffs. Energetic hikers can climb to the summit of the Sikonjella'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 base camp. 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.
