One Trip, Three World  Heritage Sites

After quite some planning, June 22 marked the beginning of an epic trip to explore three of South Africa’s World Heritage Sites in our Jeep Wrangler. The day before, we had picked up our mates Myles and Fiona from the airport and they helped with all the last-minute preparations.

We woke just after a chilly dawn, and when it came time to turn the Jeep’s keys it started with the biggest roar – almost anticipating the epic journey ahead.

We made our way through the Huguenot Tunnel to Worcester, driving through winding hills laden with vineyards and the most beautiful mountain views. Our planned route took us through the Anysberg Nature Reserve, so we stopped in Touws River to fill up the cars before hitting the gravel.

Once refuelled, we made our way through this quaint little town to Anysberg. Not long after you have crossed the railway track, you are greeted with a very well-maintained gravel road. As the road was in such good condition, we reached the gate of the reserve in good time. The gate is not locked, and it is important to note that it has to be closed at all times. The road within the reserve was a different story – it was severely corrugated and the going was slow, even for our Jeep. I would have loved to spend more time, as there is an intense 4x4 track leading up the mountain which ends in a campsite for those who wish to stay the night. This route is next on our touring list.
