Always wade water crossings, as the last thing you need to do is seriously damage your engine and interior. I recently visited two venues worthy of mention. The trail has a small shop and picnic sites with toilets. It is worth a visit even if only to dust out the cobwebs. In Mpumalanga, outside Lydenburg, is the farm Spoelklippies where, in a more pristine environment, John and Gail Simpson have developed an ideal weekend destination with families in mind.
Accommodation is in a delightful tented camp with clean ablutions.
The venue offers varying conditions and a multiplicity of other activities.
