Route
description Skurweberg is a holiday farm with 4x4 driving for
all skill levels and enough to keep the whole family amused.
There is horse riding, hiking,
mountain biking and cooling off in the river,
along with a horse cart and small animal farmyard
for younger children.
For 4x4 fans there is the temptation of gentle scenic
drives aimed at enjoying the magnificent mountain views
and fauna and flora, with the possibility of encountering
grey rhebuck, duiker and black eagle. Or, for the more adventurous
there is the Baboon Trail obstacle course, with
escape routes at the major challenges. The trickier sections
include some very serious rocky ascents, with
rocky terrain in most places other than along the river where
there is water, sand and mud.
The farm has successfully hosted the Karoo 4x4 Challenge,
but many will simply delight in the scenery and family fun,
enjoying the magnificent views from the top of the escarpment.
Another option is the Sneeukrans 4x4 Trail
on an adjoining farm, which will keep you busy for three to
five hours along a 52km route , Both Routes are circular routes.
Don't miss Hiking trail, mountain biking,
mini animal farm for children, stargazing at
Sutherland Observatory, paragliding.
Accommodation
Well-equipped guesthouse sleeps up to nine and
has two bathrooms. Camping on grass under poplar
trees, with electricity, showers and toilets.
Skurweberg is a great outing for
the family with a variety of driving conditions and all the
fun of the farm for the children.
