Bedrogfontein 4x4 Trail
Addo Elephant National Park (Kabouga to Darlington) · Eastern Cape 4x4 route
A one-way, self-driven route from the Kabouga section of Addo Elephant National Park north to the Darlington area. It crosses riverine thicket, Afromontane forest and fynbos before dropping into the arid Nama-Karoo, and passes Anglo-Boer War battle sites and scattered rock art. SANParks grades it 2 to 3 and allows only vehicles with 4x4 and low range. Bookings go through Addo reception, and camping is available at Mvubu on the Kabouga side.
