Suicide Gorge is a kloofing name that pops up on many a visitor's bucket list when visiting Cape Town. A short drive from Cape Town on the N2 takes you to the small town of Grabouw and the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve - the home of Suicide Gorge. This day trip is for the person who likes to feel their heart pumping in their veins when they stand on top of jumps as high as 14m. With the pools waiting below, buckle up those knees and suck up that courage!

Suicide Gorge is a long day out with a total distance of around 18-19km. Hike to the gorge about 9.5km, the gorge 1.3km (2.5km in kloofing terms) and the hike back to the car park about 6km (which includes a tough little climb out from the gorge). Be prepared for a long, fun-filled day.

Riviersonderend Gorge is the main artery that runs through the nature reserve and into the Theewaterskloof dam. This place is special in its beauty as it slots its way through from beginning to end. Its highest jump which is non-compulsory is about 7m. It will leave you smiling for a while. It is also a shorter and easier day than Suicide Gorge.
