Echo caves: A network of countless caves on the border of Limpopo and Mpumalanga. So far, a chain of caves about 40 kilometers long has been discovered. However, it is suspected that the caves are even larger.
In times of war, the people of the Sipedi tribe sought refuge here from the hostile Swazi. Today the caves are privately owned. A selected part of the caves can be visited with a guide for a small entrance fee.

Sad update: Just one day after our visit, the farm to which the caves belong was attacked by criminals. The owners, Hennie C. (77) and Anneke C. (73), were severely tortured and then burned alive. This is also South Africa. Be careful!
