So, we did Baviaans, West to East.
Here are some random pics.
I'll try a video as well.
It's a must, for anyone who is not scared of gravel (most Fozzie drivers ?)
It was beautifull in there.
As a Fozzie driver, I would avoid the wet season though, because some of those water crossings aparently get quite deep, sometimes even the Cruisers/Landies have to turn around
It's about a 200km stretch of road, but take 2 or more days, to enjoy it. Leave at least 1 whole day for the eastern (rougher) part. Stop frequently to look/capture/take pics/enjoy/....
No matter what the maps say, there is
NO fuel in the Baviaans.
1 tank easilly takes you thu, though. We filled up in Uniondale, drove thru to the western entrance gate of the Nature reserve (rougher part), came back about 90% (to Makkedaat), with turning off here and there, then went all the way thru to Patensie the next day, with a bit of fuel to spare.
We had no car/tire problems, but if you can, rather be prepared, with tire repair kit at least,(I've got a 2nd spare as well), and if possible, extra fuel.
Shlepping a (off-road)trailer is possible. (Encountered some Tuna's with trailers/caravans).
The road in the Nature Reserve is NARROW, so be prepared/able to reverse, to make space. There are no options. I know a lot of female(maybe some male as well) drivers are not comfortable reversing on a narrow (gravel) mountian pass. No disrespect intended here, it's a fact.
No, you can't turn around, except in a very few spots.
