Waterfall Safari Lodge Mpumalanga

Post by Hilux01 »

Hi guys,

We have a 4x4 Weekend planned for the 11 - 12 October with our church, and I was wondering if anybody has done or seen reports on the 4x4 Trail at Waterfall Safari Lodge, just south of Loskop Dam in Mpumalanga. I am struggeling to find worthwhile info on the trail. Discussed it with the manager of Forever Resort Loskop Country and to state his exact words, he said, " Jy t n Cruiser nodig vir daai pad, boetie" - translated Cruisers Only!

According to the people at the Lodge it is rated a 4.

ANYBODY??

Henk,
as dit dieselfde plek is as wat ek aan dink dan het julle 'n lekker tyd wat voorle, veral die gasvryheid en akkomodasie. As oud inwoner van Middelburg het ons gereeld daar rond gaan kuier, dis net so voor die "dorpie" Kranspoort as ek dit reg het. Ons het gewoonlik waar die watervalle begin, net agter Otekalia begin abseil tot by Waterval Lodge en dan daar gekamp, saam met kerk jeugkampe. Was al so een of twee keer saam met ander se 4x4 voertuie op enkele dele van die roetes daar, maar dit was meer los klip as iets anders en ook al so 4 jaar terug, weet nie hoeveel het intussen verander nie. Kyk of die Kruisrivier roetes ook dalk beskikbaar is (waar jy Kranspoortpas afkom), kan ook pret raak.
Groete,
Marius.

Marius,

Jy is presies reg die Lodge is net voor Kranspoort se hekke. Jy het nie dalk fotos of iets om te share nie? Sou graag wou sien. Dit klink my die roete het die laaste 3 jaar baie verspoel, manne praat van fris oorkruis en groot klippe teen lekker hellings 35 plus grade.

Ek het in Okt 2007 Kruisrivier gedoen. Was great, net jammer dit was nog nie heeltemaal natseisoen nie. Theo hulle was baie behulpsaam (opsigter/bestuurder). Die mooiste Eland op daai plaas gesien, 80 km se paaie kan n man besig hou!

Mnre,

Die tyd het aangebreuk, more aand pak ek die BosMerc vir sy naweek trippie.

Ons gaan nie net die Waterfall roete doen nie. Forever Resorts het n groot gedeelte van Botshobello tot by Loskop self uitgekoop. Die naweek gaan dan verskillende kleiner roetes ook behels. Alles is begeleide toer, Cobus praat van n klas 3 roete algemeen met gedeeltes as 4 klassifikasie. So ek sien baie uit.

Sal bietjie TR doen as ons eers terug is. 8 Voertuie 23 mense...dis mos hoe mens n naweek moet spandeer!! Hou saam duim vas dat dat ons bietjie reen kry voor dan :lol:
