2) Do not attempt to cross any stream in flood – rather turn back to your starting point. Sections of the reserve may be closed due to unsafe conditions during or immediately after heavy rains.
3) In wet weather the paths can be muddy and rocks very slippery – exercise extra caution to prevent injuries
4) Many viewpoints are on unfenced cliff edges – exercise extreme caution and supervise children at all times.
5) Rock-climbers must pay the entrance fee and complete the Climbing Register at the Kloof Falls Picnic site before climbing.
6) Walking in the reserve is safe but isolated incidents can never be excluded as they cannot anywhere in South Africa. Normal precautions when walking in isolated areas apply. Preferably do not walk alone.
7) You are required to pay the entry fee at Kloof Falls Picnic Site or the Nkutu Picnic Site (open on weekends only). Entry at any point other than an official point is prohibited. You may be asked to produce your entry receipt by a uniformed Field Ranger or Honorary Officer, who are also authorised to collect an entry fee from you. Please request a valid entry ticket when paying your entry fee.
Entry fees help maintain and protect the trails and natural treasures such as this reserve and to provide manpower for rescues and assistance in the case of an emergency.
Please help to keep our natural areas safe.
