We suggest at least three days if you want to do all the trails. Four of the five trails are circular routes. The Geelpoort Trail with its interesting lichen-covered rock formations winds through the narrow Geelpoort and takes you to a lookout point at the top of the mountain. Here you will enjoy stunning views over the plains of the Great Karoo and see Beaufort West and the mountains between Aberdeen and Graaff-Reinet in the distance. A steep decent will test your downhill driving skills.The trails wind through typical Karoo veld and offer good challenges that will suit novices and shouldn't damage vehicles. Passengers will enjoy the abundance and diversity of flora with the incredible variety of Karoo succulents. You can drive for many kilometres in the sandy Traka River bed, and might be lucky enough to spot kudu. Look out for wet spots, which might seem llike a firm surface. If it is approached too slowly, you might end up getting stuck and an unexpected recovery will keep you busy for a while. Due to the fast-growing thorn trees, it would be wise to bring pruning scissors to cut branches that might scratch your vehicle. Full review to follow.
