We have opened a number of kloofs in the area\, some are commercial and easy to access\, while others are more off the beaten track. There is also the possibility of facilitating a group who want to descend a 178m free-hanging abseil\,which is also in the area. So\, we welcome everybody from beginners to the very experienced. We plan to base camp at the Loskop Kloofing & hiking accommodation\, which is the adventure base in the Loskop Dam area\, also very central\, and the most affordable in the area. This is approximately a 2.5h drive from Johannesburg. There will be camping facilities\, glamping facilities\, and more comfortable options. We are limiting the numbers to 30. Contact: lskpkloof@gmail.com \n\n\n\nMCSA – Kloofing meet 25 (1)Download URL:https://www.mcsapw.co.za/event/mcsa-national-kloofing-meet-loskop-limpopo/ CATEGORIES:Kloofing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.mcsapw.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Loskop-kloofing-image.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20250111T000000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Johannesburg:20250112T235959 DTSTAMP:20260717T014343 CREATED:20241130T055859Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241202T172253Z UID:9464-1736553600-1736726399@www.mcsapw.co.za SUMMARY:Visgat Cayon DESCRIPTION:Once again club members are privileged to spend a weekend in this beautiful\, privately owned part of the upper Olifants river.

It starts with an exquisite narrow canyon section\, which eventually opens up to reveal a majestic vista. As you make you way through the canyon you will descend 6 beautiful waterfall abseils and do jumps ranging between 2 m and 14 m. The abseils vary from easy to slightly wild and the jumps are not compulsory. The walk-in and walk-outs are short: 5 to 20 minutes. \n\n\n\nThis normally costs R 1650 pp but club members only pay R 550 pp. \n\n\n\nPeople must bring their own lunch\, helmets and harnesses. Harnesses and helmets can also be arranged with Kuba at a cost of R50 pp. \n\n\n\nThe leader will provide guides\, ropes and extra rescue gear. \n\n\n\nContact Kuba Miszewski at 082 080 7258 or kuba@apap.co.za if you are interested.
