On Samil's back to Waterval Boven

[Derik]

We left Johannesburg, Monday 12:00 after work. Nothing really planned, just go there spend the night, drive around new years day and head back to Johannesburg.
So ja first pic Samil loaded and ready to go

Used the N4 as it was the quickest route, but at a cost-two Toll gates will set you back R110 one way!
Must say I havnt seen such a clean area in a long time(don't even mention the visibility of traffic police, they all over). Some pics along the way

Tunnel at Waterval Boven, and just through it the old rock bridge

 

[Derik]

We spend the night at Elangeni Holiday Resort, although closed already the owner said "don't worry, choose a place to set camp we can sort out the rest tomorrow. Not used to that sort of thing anymore,  nobody can be trusted...
So we set camp, on a well looked after lawn. The Elands river flows a mere 10meters from us, natures rumble

 

[Derik]

Next day we did a round trip, from Waterval Boven up to Montrose pass, left over Schoemanskloof pass back to the camp.

A uncompleted bridge tells a story of 63 Moz workers that died because of a train accident. This is W/Boven where the Elands river cuts through town

Time flies when you enjoy something, so much to see but so little time...on our way back we stopped at the Berg en Dal memorial. This tells a story of a battle that lasted 7days, which were so bad that historians can't explain how anyone could survive it

 

[Derik]

Will have to make a plan to go back there for at least a week, to see the un-seen. Some more pics of Rhino next to the highway, Samil all wet(rained all the way there and back).
Love the Adventure

Lekker.  Keep the location of those Rhino a big secret.

Unfortunately they are next to the Highway for all to see-hope the owner has security

Looks like their hoirns have been removed... for their own safety... I think they'll be left alone. Nice report! :thumleft:
