Drakensberg 4x4 trails

There are 4x4 trails in the Drakensberg that are amongst the best in the country

drakensberg 4x4 trailsFrom the miraculous mountain range of the Drakensberg into the wilderness areas in Lesotho and the Natal Midlands. Whatever the choice you make, you will be undoubtedly delighted and surprised at the amounts of 4x4 routes and trails that are on offer for the 4x4 enthusiast in this enchanting province.

A good place to start a 4x4 trail is at the little town of Cedarville, situated on the foothills of the most southern Drakensberg mountains. Not only is Cedarville the gateway to three magnificent 4x4 mountain passes into Lesotho (all within an hours drive), so expect to be challenged and spoilt for choice.

The Drakensberg offers 4x4 trails that are amongst the best in the country. Natural obstacles - steep slopes, rock steps, sand river crossings, mud shale slopes - will take your driving skills to the limit.

Drakensberg 4x4 Trails

  • Mikes Pass - This 4x4 trail is located in the Cathedral Peak Section of the Central Drakensberg. This 32km trail is one of the most scenically beautiful anywhere. It includes some steep climbs and a hair-raising 7km downhill on the pass.
  • Sani Pass - This is a fairly challenging 4x4 route with access from Himeville in the southern Drakensberg. The pass twists and climbs upwards, beneath towering cliffs and buttresses, reaching the top of the Drakensberg escarpment at 2 873m. You need a passport to cross the border post into Lesotho at the top.
  • Thule Beacon Trail - From St Bernards Peak in East Griqualand. This trail is renowned as a tough 4x4 trail that takes you high into the southern Drakensberg mountains. The experts say that this trail is much tougher than Sani Pass.
