For the past 19 months, this trail has been used byinstructors to train 4 x 4 enthusiasts. We have now, on public demand, decided to open these trails to the general 4 x 4 public. The trail runs along the entire Blokland River and Melkrivier Escarpment, with spectacular views over the Blokland basin and the vast Lapalala Wilderness. These trails vary from moderate to very difficult. We only allow experienced drivers to attempt the 'red' routes solo.However, recovery vehicles are always on standby. The route runs through 3 farms, totalling 9 500 ha with the shortest trail being 65 km long and taking on average 7/8 hours to complete, depending on the number of vehicles in convoy and the drivers' experience.
(Not to forget the lunch stop! to moderate game viewing routes are also laid out, with scenic areas for the less experienced solo drivers.
We also arrange convoy drives, this is a great way to meet new 4 x 4 friends and to collect valuable knowledge and tips. On request we arrange catering, bush breakfasts, lunches and picnic baskets for a minimum of 6 people.
