    Default 2 or 3 day 4x4 Trails

    Hi all

    Im looking for a 2 or 3 day trail to take my 80yr old family member on, we travelled extensively in Southern Africa together many years ago and he would love to do one last little getaway

    Mabua was always our favourite but his passport expires in 7th November this year so that is out as it will only be valid for 5 months at most when we go

    Thought of Lebombo in Kruger(we did together probably 18yrs ago) but no over 65 allowed
    Looking at the Mafunyane 4x4 from Phalaborwa to Punda but waiting to hear if the age limit applies as well to this trail

    Anybody got any other suggestions, would need to be booked on pretty short notice, within next couple weeks

    Thanks

    Marakele 4x4 Eco-trail is another option.

    We did it in 2022. Our thread and short trip report of it link is below:

    Thanks, see you did it in a Jimny

    That's what we would be using but I still have standard suspension ?

    I think it will be ok on the trip. You might have to get a little creative on some lines you choose.

    We had no issues on the trip at all, however we were running a Des Sol 50mm lift and 235/75R15 tyres.
