Surrounds:
Bamboeshoek, a Getaway magazine favourite, is three hours from Bloemfontein and East London and four hours north of Port Elizabeth. Those who beat the challenges are rewarded with sweeping views and getting up close and personal with an abundance of game, including blesbok, reedbuck, wildebeest, springbok, impala, fallow deer, eland and baboons.
The trail:
Bamboeshoek is three hours from Bloemfontein and East London and four hours north of Port Elizabeth. A fair amount of 4x4 experience is necessary to tackle a number of steep ascents and descents, that owner Chris Bartlett says are tough enough to put your low-ratio box through its paces. The trail can be reasonably tricky in fair weather but darn scary after rain when some clay sections become skidpans.
Accommodation:
Self-catering hut for six, a cottage that sleeps four, and a lodge for ten.
Camping:
Camping for 12 people
