Ek wil saterdagmiddag in die baviaans in, daar oorslaap en sondag uitkom. Is daar enige interresante 4x4 trails wat van die hoofroete afgaan waarvan mens moet weet?

Ons was einde laasjaar by Rooinek gewees. (Ja, Rooinek, nie Rooihoek nie). Dit is net voor die pad grondpad raak van Patensie se kant af. Dit was lekker gewees, en is seker jy sal dit op jou eie kan doen. Gonjah is ook lekker.
Maar as jy net Saterdag en Sondag daar gaan wees sal ek aanraai om die volgende te doen. In elk geval, dit is wat ek binnekort gaan doen.
Ry deur die Baviaans en slaap oor by Doringkloof of enige iets verder as dit. Die Makedaat Grotte lyk baie lekker. Die volgende dag ry jy deur na Willowmore en dan kom jy terug deur die pad anderkant die kloof. Dit is nou van Steytlerville se kant af. Baie mooi roete wat 'n paar stukkies het wat jy dalk 4L sal moet aansit! Jy sal dan ry tot by Elandsriver en uitkom net anderkant Uitenhage.

Ok, ek sien nou eers jy is van Humansdorp.
Wat jy kan doen, in plaas van om al die pad Elandsriver toe te ry. Daar is 'n T aansluiting waar jy sal uitkom as dit die pad agter die kloof vat. Draai net regs daar om weer terug Patensie toe te gaan. En dan is daar mos 'n pad na Humansdorp.

I agree with Chris re the road from Elandrivier to either Steytlerville or Willowmoore. Nice route. Beautiful views from the Telkom tower.

Doringkloof on the Western side of the Nature reserve has a few very cool trails. There is one trail going from the farm over the mountains to Kareedouw. You'll need about 8 hours for that 60km, but it is really great. Check out the website: http://www.baviaans.co.za/4x4/

This is a nice 4x4 route, but not major challenging. What I would do for a two day trip is to go from Humandorp past Hankie/Patensie up the kloof till just past the Doringkloof trail and sleep over at Bakkrans for the night, so that you have the whole next day to do the 4x4 trip over the mountains to Rob's place at Baviaanskloof lodge (even though it is not technically inside the baviaans kloof, but that is splitting hairs). From there it is normal dirt roads to Kareedouw and you should be back in Humansdorp before it is dark...

The caves on the Willowmore side are very nice, and the people friendly.
Recommend them any time

we left on saturday afternoon, slept over at doodsklip, drove a bit further the next morning up till smitskraal and returned to doodsklip, packed up and left. was all good. rout is pretty bad though - haven't seen it quite as bad ever. I reckon that in less than a year it will be a very challenging route through the baviaans. I must add that if it rains for a day or so and you try to go up to bergplaas and over down to rooihoek etc it will be REALLY challenging. Can't wait for some rain - then i'm defnitely heading out there for the day!
