A brief history of the area
The name "Tamboerskloof" is derived from the Afrikaans words for drum "tamboer" and valley "kloof". When Dutch settlers arrived and set up farms in the 1650s, they established the first of a series of lookout points at the site where Tamboerskloof lies today. From these lookout points, watchmen would beat drums to alert farmers in the area to the approach of a ship. Thanks to this, farmers would know that it was time to make their way to Cape Town harbour with their crops.Climate
