The name Daniel’s Den was first found in documents by the missionary Campbell in 1820. According to tradition, the name of the town is derived from a natural pit, named “kuil” in Afrikaans, in the dolomite structure.

In the former days, perpetrators were imprisoned under awful conditions in this pit. As a result of this, a link was made with the biblical figure of Daniël, who ended up in a pit with lions, hence the name Daniëlskuil. 

Daniëlskuil is an ideal destination for visitors wanting to break away from city life and relax in a beautiful remote area.
