The Berakah 4x4 trail set in the Vredefort dome just 13 km outside Parys.
We offer a one day or a weekend getaway filled with endless fun,
challenges, thrill and nerve wracking experiences.
The trail caters for the beginner to experienced driver, offering
leisurely to adrenaline pumping experiences. It is divided into eight
sections, each offering its own unique challenges. The difference of this trail
compared to others lies in its diversity.
Terrain
In this natural environment of unspoilt beauty on a 14 km trail, guests
will pass through open savannah, bushveld, riverbeds, mud, water, hill climbs
and scenic mountainous areas. Beside the normal variety of grasses, trees and
shrubs, a very thick stand of Wild Olive trees (Olienhout) are found in the
protected mountainous areas.
Time Required
The entire trail can be completed in a day. Overnight facilities are
available if you want to do the trail over a two day period.
Trail Rating
The trail rating is bound to cause some controversy. The difficulty of a
trail is very much an individual experience. However, this rating is an attempt
to give some indication of the degree of difficulty and the type of terrain.
The trail consists of roads with seasonal two track travel. Track or
rough rocky surface with 4x4 low range gear ratio are required. Steep drops on
one or both sides of the track. The ratings are subject to certain unknown
factors such as human error, previous off-road driving experience, condition of
the vehicle and adverse weather conditions (wind and rain) and the trail, at a
given time. Drivers should regard this rating as a general guideline only.
