Spend a night in a secluded mountain kloof near Voorberg Waterfall, where a stream flows past a large boulder and Rooi els trees. Settle into a gently swaying hammock or sleep in a tent, accompanied by the sound of running water. A hammock or tent can be provided.
Near the new moon, the stars fill the night sky; around the full moon, silvery light illuminates the rocks, trees and stream. With a little luck, you might even spot nocturnal wildlife — I once saw a Cape genet at this very spot.
No fires are permitted. Bring warm clothing, a headlamp and suitable sleeping equipment.
