About the Echo Caves

The Echo Caves consists of impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations. The spectacular limestone and dripstone structures inside these natural caverns make for interesting imaginary figures, which can be seen in chambers throughout The Cave as it winds through the mountain.

You can experience the wonder of the Echo Caves comfortably and safe from walkways with electric lights, railings and staircases that have been installed for safety and convenience.

For the more adventurous, a special tour can be organised to go deeper into the cave.

The end of the cave has not yet been found and it is said that the end of the Echo Caves is somewhere close to the Strijdom Tunnel.

Come and see the natural beauty and unspoiled heritage of one of South Africa’s longest caves.
