Boomslang Cave Entrance

About Boomslang Cave Entrance

The Boomslang Cave Entrance is located above Kalk Bay in the Table Mountain National Park. The cave features two main openings: a large vertical crack on the Fish Hoek side often considered the "entrance," and a southern opening facing Echo Valley typically used as the "exit". Starting Point: The hike begins at the Echo Valley sign on Boyes Drive. Trail Details: From Boyes Drive, follow the trail through Echo Valley for approximately 45–60 minutes to reach the cave. The Entrance: The primary entrance is a large, obvious wide crack in the rocks. Entering here allows you to walk into the cave before needing to crawl. Seasonal Advice: It is best visited in summer. During winter, the cave can have pools of water up to 30cm deep, and visitors are discouraged from entering to avoid disturbing hibernating Schreiber's Long-fingered Bats.
