Welcome to Kloof

Kloof is a suburb in the Upper Highway area (Durban Outer West) Not much is known about the early days of the area now called Kloof prior to the 1800’s. The first documents relating to the area were recorded with the arrival of the early Voortrekker pioneers. Records show that Kloof is situated on a farm originally called “Tafelberg”, which belonged to a pioneer, Andries van Tonderen.
