Grading 2-3
Sand
Mountain Rock
The Farm Zevenfontein, situated at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountains is a mere two hours drive from Cape Town with Robertson the closest town. It is probably one of the lesser-known trails in the Cape, but definitely one of the gems.
Campsite is easily one of the nicest, most shaded campsites we have visited with a one of a kind donkey to heat the water.
The 4x4 trail itself is rather unique. There is a mountain section of approx. 6 km, which will take about 2 hours to complete. Views of the entire Agterkliphoogte valley and the kloof with its waterfalls can be enjoyed from its highest point.
Then all around the campsite there is a short trail which crosses the river numerous times providing for some interesting in / out challenges, all under shade and easily accessible for spectators.
There are also some swimming holes in the river nearby so bring those costumes, as we will surely find time for a dip.
Vehicles: Only vehicles with low range capabilities can be accommodated.
Trailers: Only off-road trailers can be accommodated on this excursion.
Nearest Town: Robertson.
