description
The best climbing area faces the Game City shopping complex (with it’s own defunct climbing wall). There are three main areas and several anchors and bolted routes.
approach
You can park in the vast shopping center car park and then it is a short walk to the base of the cliffs. There is easy access to the base and the top of these cliffs if you want to set up a top rope, though you may need a rigging rope as the nearest suitable anchor points are sometimes a little way back from the top of the cliffs.
ethic
The rocks are sometimes used by traditional churches, please act respectfully.

-
All Bouldering
Lat / Long: -20.893793, 25.818813
description
"But after hours of rumbling, an "island" appeared out of nowhere, Kubu Island. Huge baobab trees provide shade here. Surreal to find an oasis in the alien environment. At the edge of the island there were rocks up to 7m high, so we unpacked our climbing shoes and did gymnastics on the blocks. A quirky place for bouldering. You feel small on small stones, which creates an absurd feeling when climbing." (report German climbing expedition, see magazin 04/2022, page 34)
