Die Stellenbosch Afdeling
van die BKSA is aan die voet van die Jonkershoekberge in die Wes-Kaap,
Suid-Afrika, gesetel.
Dié afdeling het 'n
ledetal van ongeveer 180 en bied stap en bergklim uitstappies, asook
sosiale geleenthede.
Although the club is mostly
Afrikaans-speaking, the members all share a common love for the
mountains.
English speaking mountaineers and hikers
are more than welcome to join us.
"Over it all stands the Drakensberg itself, timeless, aloof, inscrutable, but with a wild beauty of its own
that tugs at the heartstrings. It is a world of indescribable and ever-changing splendour, a world of
basalt giants that stand as sentinels on the roof of South Africa; a world of unspoiled nature, where
the cry of the martial eagle breaks the silence of distant peaks, where the thunder roars and winds
shriek through lonely crags like dragons in torment; where giant yellowwoods dream away their agelong
sleep in hidden valleys, and where man, in all this vast loneliness, can find himself".
