PLEASE NOTE
The dirt roads are maintained but there are sections with sharp stones. It is advisable to travel slowly with soft tyres to avoid punctures.
After rain the roads can be slippery and muddy, again it is best to drive slowly.
If you have a low clearance vehicle, take big rocks or middle mannetjies with your wheels, not the under carriage of your vehicle, which may be damaged.
If you are uncertain about the condition of the roads, contact Cath on +27 83 327 4765 or Sandra on +27 79 091 1159 for the latest update.
Both MTN and VODACOM have reception in the valley.
