4x4 Trips "The 4x4 Summit Route is an ideal introduction to one of South Africa's most scenic and historic regions, and includes some compellingly beautiful waterfalls.  The route is definitely people and vehicle friendly.  All too many 4x4 trails are either potentially damaging to lifestyle 4x4s, or daunting to newcomers to the 4x4 scene.  This route rates as one of the easiest around"  (South African Country Life, January 2001) Rated as one of the top 10 4x4 trails in South Africa by Geoff Dalglish, Editor - Drive-Out magazine!
