Magoebaskloof, Adventure Riding Heaven

We've done a few trips up to the Magoebaskloof, Tzaneen & Haenertsburg region and it never fails to disappoint. We generally go via Dullstroom, then too Lydenburg and towards Hoedspruit, before turning off to Oppie Oewer. With this route the scenery is incredible and includes passing by the world heritage site, The BLyde River Canyon. The last few trips we've joined the Proudly Meerkat crew that base themselves at Oppie Oewer, on the banks of the Klein Letaba River. Gerrit and his family have setup a stunning venue for weary travellers, with the bar on the banks of the river and very comfortable rooms and the food never disappoints. Gerrit knows the area better than anyone and takes the groups on a couple of private access roads, he has permission from the Komati forestry guys and these tracks are absolute gems and include routes through the plantations and then some truly special sections, that cross through the indigenous forests, with waterfalls aplenty. There are a few magical of stops enroute and a lunch stop up at the radio towers. This is without a doubt some of the best riding that you'd do and I highly recommend getting in touch with Gerrit, from Oppie Oewer, you will come away feeling incredibly satisfied and generally have post ride depression once back at work. and what could be better than enjoying a cold one, down at the river and unwinding. This is the GPX route that I had created for our 1st ever trip up North: You'll come across a lot of charcoal ovens when criss crossing the network of trails in the area.
