Such incredible beauty and magnificence captured by Huck Orban.

Surely, there can be nothing beyond those distant peaks... is that the end of the world?

No. There is more. Once you have driven through the Ngwangwane river valley and crossed the ridge at Kingscote, you will have entered East Griqualand and left the Umzimkulu river catchment behind. You are now in the headwaters of the Umzimvubu river, which spills into the Indian ocean a couple of hundred kilometers downstream, at Port St. Johns.

This picture is of Route 617, heading southwest from Underberg to Swartberg, Franklin, Kokstad and Matatiele. Probably one of the most remote and scenic routes in all of Africa.
