Northern Cape :Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm

The Via Ferrata was the brainchild of the Endangered Wildlife Trust’s Senior Conservation Manager, Cobus Theron, who had this to say “ this nature based experience allow people to experience this magnificent landscape and its abundant biodiversity in an unforgettable way. We are of the opinion that it will attract more visitors to the area which firmly position the district as a year-round nature destination”.
The Via Ferrata (iron trail) is an iron cable installed along the cliffs of the magnificent Oorlogskloof Gorge which will allow tourists to traverse safely along sheer rock faces as part of a unique nature tourism experience. The Via ferrata is on Papkuilsfontein Guest Farm on the Bokkeveld Plateau near Nieuwoudtville, in the Northern Cape.
