Multi Day 4x4 Trails/Routes

[RPiet]

I know there was a thread a few months back listing the multi day trials in South Africa, but I can’t seem to find that thread now. Please point me in the right direction and mods can close this thread if the other one is still active.

But I thought it would be cool to have a list of all the multi day trials around SA.

criteria:

1. Proper dedicated 4x4 trail (not a rough section of public road, not overland routes)

2. At least 2 days long, with at least 1 dedicated overnight stop on Route.

Routes can be either linear or circular, guided or selfguided, catered or self catering. Camping/lodging/chalets etc, doesn’t matter, as long as there is a starting point, end point and at least one overnight stop along the way.

post 2 will be reserved for listing trails.

Feel free to post your recommendations with some notes about the trail.

let’s try stick to the following format:
