This is the last video in the 3 Part Series. Remember to watch the first videos in the series where we have travelled to Camdeboo & Graaff-Reinet Storms River Mouth

Respek vir daai sin "I LOVE this Fortuner, It is a beast!" I have never owned a Fortuner, but the line resonated with me.. the love for a machine that takes you to amazing places! Mooi Man!

[@4WheelingSA]

Ja, in mens se eie oë is jou eie goed mos die beste. Haha, maar ja, al die goed behoort jou redelik op meeste mooi plekke te vat. Dankie vir die comment.

Really enjoyed this one! That cave is so unique!

[@4WheelingSA]

Thank you. Yes, will definately do it again. Especially this one since it is completely open.

[@dieterholle5666]

Very well done. Love the quick trailer packing-up sequence. Nice info about Baviaans.

[@4WheelingSA]

Thanks Dieter! Glad you have noticed it 😁

Nice Video .Have done the trip with a similar sized bush caravan ... but I think that, even though it can be done...it puts too much safety at risk for you and the oncoming vehicle on the narrow parts - I will not do it without the bushtrailer next time

[@4WheelingSA]

If you are not experienced with towing I will not do it yes. Just taking it slow helps if you have experience. Stop and plan how you will pass.

[@koos5006]

It's more about the risk factor for others too - fortunately I've done many bushtrailer trips ..@@4WheelingSA

[@maraiskotze9241]

Hi, what was your tire pressure on the gravel? Doing the whole of Baviaanspoort in Dec 2022 bit concerned about the narrow road also have a BL Boskriek, some people said it's a no-no.

[@4WheelingSA]

I have used 1.5 bar (Fortuner and Bush Lapa). You will be fine, just look out for the points I have mentioned. Take it slow and enjoy the views.

[@nigelcrisp-ib8oq]

[@4WheelingSA]

Thank you so much. You are welcome in our country.

[@troopyinafrica]

Going to be going there hopefully in September 🙏

[@4WheelingSA]

You will enjoy it! Spend at least one night in the middle somewhere. I would have added an extra day.

[@troopyinafrica]

@@4WheelingSA Planning 3 nights 🤙

[@4WheelingSA]

@@troopyinafrica You must enjoy it! Wish it was a bit closer for me.

[@CampSeekerAfrica]

Nice T-shirt! 😊 Looks like an awesome trip. Beautiful part of the world!

[@4WheelingSA]

😁 Thanks for watching. Definately is!

[@justicemotaung4892]

I only saw this in 2023, I must say the views were spectacular and I can imagine the quiet and peace of the place. I love it. Your video was inspirational to me and I am planning to follow the same route as yours when I tackle this. Thank you so much for the informative video

[@4WheelingSA]

Thank you Justice. Appreciate the feedback. Hope it helped to give you an understanding of the road and what to expect. It is a lovely area to witness (maybe not that much if you have someone with you who is afraid of heights...).

[@EdwardBath]

Awesome video once again Henk! Can’t wait to go to Baviaans!

[@4WheelingSA]

Thanks Ed! Definately worth it. Will just do it over 3 nights, maybe camp somewhere in the reserve and then before and after.

[@anthonyforgey3518]

Looks very scenic. Bush Lapa should thank you for the free advertising....

[@4WheelingSA]

It was yes. Think I should send them a invoice? They will appreciate the next video even more… 🤪

[@walter.zikalala]

Hi, do you regret taking an off-road camper trailer to Baviaanskloof, given the terrain?

[@4WheelingSA]

No, not at all, maybe because I have driven a lot of 4x4 trails, but I believe it was not really difficult. Just be calm when you have an oncoming vehicle.

[@walter.zikalala]

@@4WheelingSA I'm Walter, many thanks for the heads up! Looking forward to your other travels!

[@4WheelingSA]

@@walter.zikalala Thank you Walter. Thanks for the support.

[@tendanirasilalume1300]

[@Paul-RSA]

[@4WheelingSA]

Thank you Paul. Much appreciated.
