Orrie Baragwanath Pass

A rough mountain crossing between Ofcolaco and Lebowakgomo through Lekgalameetse Nature Reserve, paved on its steep eastern climb and unpaved on the west, with about 10 km of dirt along the summit. Expect narrow two-track sections and rocky hairpins; it is not a route for novice 4x4 drivers. The red clay softens in heavy summer rain and can bring rock falls, and a 2021 report described washed-out sections and deep ruts, so check conditions with the reserve first. An access fee applies if you enter through the Lekgalameetse gate.
