When younger caves were fun, older you get, claustrophobia hita home along with vertigo, glad to have done some when young!
World under our feet is totally fascinating, massive chambers of inland lakes each section totally unique, you definitely feel like you a first time explorer!
Caves we managed to visit in South Africa, Sudwala Caves near Nelspruit, set in Precambrian dolomite rock. Sterkfontein Caves close to Krugersdorp, limestone caves of special interest in paleoanthropology. Cango Caves Precambrian limestone at the foothills of the Swartberg range near town of Oudtshoorn most probably the most well known.
None had abseiling into, each had touch and go moments....

Haha yes as we get older claustrophobia definitely does kick in!
It sure is another world in these caves. So many amazing caves to explore around the world.
Oh wow I will have a look at those caves in south Africa for sure!
I have explored three caves systems now in Australia. First one was the kelly hill caves in Kangaroo island south Australia.
Second was the Capricorn caves in Rockhampton Queensland and now the Jenolan caves in New South Whales.
Always a fun time exploring!!
Fascinating looking up sometimes seeing the roots of trees at pretty good depth, others the stalactite hanging making amazing formations!
A different life underground that is for sure!
