A few months ago, Lowveld Ladies Bikers had visitors over (which happened to be Gabi's dad and his girlfriend, him being of German descent and her originally from Switzerland and extremely well travelled internationally) for a few days, and we decided to show them some of the splendor we have right here on our doorstep.

From our base in Whiteriver, we spent a day trip to the Kruger National Park, a day trip to the Sudwala Caves and the third day we took them to the Graskop Gorge Lift Co.

Each of the three evenings were spent eating out at Casterbridge Lifestyle Centre in Whiteriver at a few of our favourite restaurants namely GumTreez Pub & Grill, Avli Greek Grill and Magnolia Restaurant & Cocktail Lounge White River. Our visitors were suitably impressed by all three restaurants.

This post covers the Graskop Gorge Lift Co – FOREST WALK (LIFT & FOREST EXPERIENCE), which we last visited a few years ago. Situated right outside Graskop, this facility must be on your list to visit if you are in the area. Current entry prices for the various activities are on the website - https://www.graskopgorgeliftcompany.co.za/rates.html

There's also a Cliff Walk, the Big Swing and a Zipline which we'll attempt on another occasion as we were pushed for time on our visit.

The FOREST WALK is an unbelievable experience and you really feel at one with nature here. The route has changed quite considerably since our last visit, and will continue to evolve and remain ‘fresh’ with numerous new things in the pipeline.

For more details on everything on offer, please check out their website - https://www.graskopgorgeliftcompany.co.za/

Feast your eyes on the pictures, but get down to Graskop Gorge Lift Co in person to experience the beauty of nature and all the other activities on offer.

A few months ago, Lowveld Ladies Bikers had visitors over (Gabi's dad and his girlfriend, him being of German descent and she is originally from Switzerland and extremely well traveled internationally) for a few days, and we decided to show them some of the splendor we have right here on our doorstep.

From our base in Whiteriver, we spent a day trip to the Kruger National Park, a day trip to the Sudwala Caves and the third day we took them to the Graskop Gorge Lift Co.

This post covers the Sudwala Caves, which I last visited many years ago. A mere 35 kms from Nelspruit (Mbombela) the caves must be on your list to visit if you are in the area. Current entry prices for the cave tour are R130 for adults, R110 for pensioners and R65 for kids. There's also a Dinosaur park and Zipline which we'll visit on another occasion as we were pushed for time on our visit.

The road up to the cave's entrance is quite steep with many tight turns, the key on a bike (especially for newer riders) is just to keep momentum up and stay in first or second gear.

The cave tour is absolutely amazing and the guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. We also had a bite to eat at the restaurant at the top by the cave's entrance, and the food was delicious.

The standard cave tour takes approximately 1 hour and if you are brave and adventurous, you can tackle the Crystal Chamber tour which involved a lot of crawling through mud and very tight spaces, but apparently well worth it at the end. More details are on their website - https://www.sudwalaexperience.com/

Feast your eyes on the pictures, but get down to Sudwala Caves to experience the beauty which millions of years of nature have left for us to see.
