These range from small overhangs, like Peers Cave and Woodstock Cave, to deep cracks on Table Mountain, some of which have more than 1km (0.62 miles) of underground passage. Many of the caves occur at current, and previous, sea levels and were formed by wave action that widened weaknesses in the quartzitic sandstone and granite base rock of the Peninsula. Higher up in the mountains, all the caves occur in Table Mountain sandstone.Caving in Africa
Caving is often described as an adventure sport. Indeed many of the caves in the Western Cape provide the eager explorer with obstacles such as sheer drops requiring ladder or rope techniques, and/or awkward squeezes where a reasonable level of fitness, agility and determination would be to your advantage. On the other hand, you’ll find that there are plenty of caves which are relatively easy to negotiate, at the worst requiring a hands and knees crawl on soft sand.
