Spectacular adventure!
The entire experience of going down the lift into the Gorge and walking along the pathway in the Gorge and on suspension bridges past a waterfall, was a breath taking experience.The place is beautiful, greenery all around you. The ride down in the glass lift feels you going down to the depth of this lush green heaven. The pathway is very stable and very safe. Bring cameras, fully charged and open mind to learn all the new butterfly and tree species.
This could take you 2 hours so wear comfortable shoes.

You will take approximately 2 hours of tour inside the caves, and learn some of our ancient history. There will be walking kneeling, crawling into some confined spaces to reach the end of the caves... once you reach there you will see some real magic. The tour guides are knowledgeable and ask lots of questions and give hints, very enjoyable and lots of fun.

WHAT TO EXPECT
SABIE RIVER
Expect nothing but the best from the Sabie River which is regarded by many fly fishermen to be the best river trout fishing venue the province has to offer. The trout however are not known for their good behaviour and you’ll need to be up on your game if you want to play. The fishing consists of approximately 7 km’s of river and one still water (Lake Olaf). The river has all the challenges that a fly angler would look for. Deep pools, fast runs and swirling eddies that hold true river predators. Whether you prefer to trick your trout on a drifting dry fly or fish a heavy nymph through the deep, the Sabie River holds a few surprises and will keep you entertained. So don’t rush, take your time and get to know our waters and our trout.
The club does much effort to make access easier by doing regular bush clearing along the river, but anglers should bear in mind that river fishing is a challenge and obstacles form part of the experience. An access road runs along the entire length of club waters and is mostly accessible by car; but anglers are encouraged to use a bakkie, especially during the rainy season. Popular entry points and pools are numbered and are marked on the map which is available from permit vendors on request. Although the river is mostly populated with rainbow trout, it also produces some good brown trout and is also home to the indigenous Incomati Chisel mouth ‘Varicorhinus Nelspruitensis’. This is a difficult species to catch on fly, but by no means impossible for the persistent angler.
PRACTISE CATCH & RELEASE
Catch and release is a practise the club promotes on the river. Even though the Club has a top up stocking programme, catch and release simply makes fish smarter and allows them time to grow and become better river fish, but feel free to keep one for the pan.
Catch and release guidelines:
Use barbless hooks.
Do not over exhaust the fish during the fight.
Do your utmost not to remove the fish from the water. Catch and release research shows that a fish removed from the water has a very limited chance of survival.
For photographic purposes the angler should keep the fish in the water while the camera operator prepares the equipment. Once everyone is in position, remove the fish, supporting the under body, take the photo and immediately submerge the fish back into the water. It should only take a few seconds and will allow a better chance of survival.
Gently move the fish backwards and forwards to allow fresh water over the gills. Only release the fish when it can hold its own balance.
