A self-drive adventure trail that starts 11 km from Satara, heads north and then east into knob thorn and marula savanna, where SANParks says to expect zebra, wildebeest, buffalo and predators, including cheetah. The track is ungravelled and closes after rain until it dries. Only six vehicles are allowed per day, there are no facilities on the route, and you drive at your own risk, so take a GPS.

Along the way

  • Self-drive
  • Six vehicles a day
  • Closes after rain
  • Satara plains game

Before you drive it

  • Check with the operator for closures after rain. Conditions change faster than any website.
  • Tell someone your route and your expected time out.
  • Carry recovery gear you know how to use, and rated recovery points on the vehicle. See our recovery gear spec comparison.
