hardAdventure Along The Wild Road to Platberg in Harrismith
🇿🇦 South Africa
Okay, buckle up, adventurers! Platberg Peak in South Africa's Free State province is calling! This isn't your average Sunday drive; we're talking a rugged 4x4 track climbing to a whopping 2,394m (7,854ft). Starting near Harrismith, you've got about 12km (7.45 miles) of pure, unadulterated off-road goodness ahead of you. Don't expect smooth tarmac – think more along the lines of dirt, gravel, and a few concrete strips thrown in for good measure. Those concrete sections are there to help you tackle some seriously steep inclines (we're talking gradients steeper than 1:3!). Seriously, leave your sedan at home – this one demands a proper 4x4 and a driver who isn't afraid of a challenge! Up top, you'll find a bit of civilization in the form of communication towers, facilities, and the Gibson reservoir. But the real reward? The views! Just be warned, this eastern part of the country can get seriously wild, weather-wise. Winter brings regular and heavy snowfall, making the road treacherous. So, plan accordingly and prepare for an epic adventure!
hardTizi Malloult
🇲🇦 Morocco
Okay, adventurers, listen up! Tizi Malloult is calling your name! This epic mountain pass climbs to a whopping 8,254 feet (2,516m) in the Drâa-Tafilalet region of southern Morocco. Now, fair warning: this isn't your average Sunday drive. The P1702 is a bumpy, gravelly, and sometimes sandy track that demands respect. Seriously, make sure your vehicle is up to the task – you'll definitely want 4WD. And keep a close eye on the weather; even a little rain can turn this road into a real challenge. Watch out for those sneaky loose-gravel patches! But the views? Oh man, the views! This route will reward you with scenery that's simply unforgettable. It's a journey for experienced drivers who aren't afraid of a little off-road excitement. Get ready for an adventure of a lifetime!
easyDriving through the Seppap Gorge
🇲🇦 Morocco
Okay, adventure junkies, listen up! If you're cruising around Khémisset Province in Morocco (that's in the Rabat-Salé-Kénitra region), you HAVE to check out the Seppap Gorge. Picture this: a stunning canyon carved into the landscape, and you're driving right through it! We're talking about Route R404, specifically the stretch from Merchouch towards Sidi Bettache. The road is paved, which is a plus, but hold on tight because it's a wild ride. Think hairpin turns galore – seriously, they just keep coming! This 25.7 km stretch is not for the faint of heart, but the scenery? Totally worth it! Get ready for some epic views!
hardDriving the wild unpaved road to Ouberg Pass in Western Cape
🇿🇦 South Africa
Okay, adventurers, listen up! I've got a killer route for you in South Africa's Western Cape: the Ouberg Pass. Just east of Cape Town, this isn't some boring highway cruise. Heads up, though, there are *three* Ouberg Passes in South Africa, so make sure your GPS is set for the Western Cape one! This pass climbs to a cool 1,014 meters (that's over 3,300 feet!). The road is all gravel, and while most vehicles can handle it, you'll definitely want to keep it under 60 km/h. It's got a pretty steady climb and drops almost 500 meters in just under 8 kilometers. Starting near Montagu, you're in for a 23-kilometer haul. Trust me, though, the views are totally worth it. Get ready for some serious South African scenery!
