The Sudwala Caves are considered to be the oldest caves in the world, located in a region of sedimentary rock in the Drakensberg nearly 3 billion years old.
One of the major tourist attractions in the Crocodile River Valley, these dolomite chambers are decorated with a fascinating variety of stalagmites and stalactites.
Visitors can explore a 600m route through passages and small halls, enjoying natural formations such as Screaming Monster and Weeping Woman. The caves extend beyond the tourist area into chambers filled even more elaborately. A resort has been established in the valley below the cave entrance.
