Baviaanskloof | Into the Valley of Baboons
WRITTEN BY Barnie Louw
There’s a legion of reasons why you should visit the Baviaanskloof (or the Kloof, as the residents call it) – Barnie Louw gives 14.
The Baviaanskloof between Willowmore and Patensie, someone once said, is best described as a blend of the Sani and Bloukrans passes with a stiff dose of the Tsitsikamma and Kruger National Park’s natural beauty, and a sprinkling of Herman Charles Bosman characters.
This is true, but don’t forget the baboons, the “tigers” (Cape mountain leopard), donkeys, little drifts, floods, the wide open spaces and the tranquillity. Or the sense of seclusion, and the feeling that they do things differently here in the Kloof.
However you wish to describe the Kloof, it’s a great place. The question is not whether you should go, but when.
