Baviaanskloof

Eastern Cape · 1 day · Motorbike, 4x4 · Road less travelled

Willowmore to Patensie through the Baviaanskloof: mountain passes, river crossings and very few people. It's a long, slow day; most people stay a night in the kloof. Check conditions after rain, when the crossings can be deep.
