One of the joys of exploring South Africa's back roads is never knowing what you'll discover around the next bend.

On this journey, it wasn't another mountain pass or breathtaking viewpoint that stopped us, it was a flock of sheep calmly crossing the road.

One Last Gravel Road 🚙

You might think that after nearly a week of corrugations, dust and gravel, we would be ready for the smoothest possible road home. Apparently not!

For our final day, we chose the slower, but far more beautiful Ou Kaapse Road, following the length of the Clanwilliam Dam and Olifants River to Citrusdal.

It was a fitting end to the trip - wonderful scenery and just a little more gravel beneath the tyres.

Seven days. Countless kilometres. Great food. Spectacular scenery.

Plenty of laughs. And a reminder that sometimes the best road really is the slower one. Until the next adventure…

The Scenic Route to Clanwilliam 🚙

By this stage of the trip, taking the shortest route was clearly not a priority and we were perfectly happy about that.

Leaving Calvinia, our chosen route took us across the Botterkloof Pass, followed by a detour into the beautiful Biedouw Valley.

It’s the kind of landscape that makes you slow down, open the windows and forget about the clock for a while.

Eventually we made our way to Clanwilliam and Haus Muller, our final overnight stop of the tour.

After almost a week on the road, the adventure was nearing its end - but we still had one more beautiful stretch of gravel ahead of us.

Pies, Waterfalls and a Memorable Dinner!

Apparently, you can’t drive through Pofadder without stopping for one of the area’s famous pies, so naturally we had to investigate.

After refuelling both the vehicles and ourselves on Day Five, we continued south to visit the Nieuwoudtville Waterfall, before making our way to Calvinia.

Our overnight stop was Die Blou Nartjie Guesthouse, followed by dinner at their Restaurant. And what a dinner it was. Of all the meals enjoyed during the trip, this one was certainly among the stand-outs.

Good roads are important on a road trip. Good food helps too!

A Day to Explore! ⛰️🚙

After several days of travelling together, Day Four was all about doing your own thing. Most of the group headed out to explore some of the attractions around Upington and the surrounding area.

There was the remarkable 1 km-long Date Palm Avenue, the historic Keimoes Waterwheel and attempts to get a closer look at the impressive Khi Solar One power plant.

With its distinctive tower visible from many kilometres away, it’s one of those landmarks that seems to follow you across the landscape.

No convoy.

No fixed schedule.

Just a day to wander, explore and see what we could find.

Cake and Cascades!

There are road-trip stops you remember for the scenery…and then there are the ones you remember for the cake. Day Three had both.

The decadent cakes at the Akkerboom Padstal between Keimoes and Kakamas absolutely deserved a place on our itinerary - and possibly a return visit all on their own!

Suitably fuelled, we continued to Augrabies Falls National Park to witness the Orange River plunging dramatically through the rocky landscape, creating an 18km long gorge in the process.

After taking in the spectacular views, we checked into Augrabies Falls Lodge & Camp for the night.

From decadent cake to thundering waterfalls - not a bad combination for one day!
