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