Gravel Road to Kagga Kamma
Please note that the last 35km to Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve is a scenic gravel road. Although the gravel road is traversable in a normal sedan vehicle all year round, the condition of the last 10km of road does change and may deteriorate somewhat from time-to-time, due to prevailing weather conditions and / or lack of municipal maintenance, which events are, unfortunately, outside of our control. Please drive carefully and slowly and make the most of the opportunity this affords for you to slow things down and enjoy the splendour of nature that surrounds you on the way to Kagga Kamma.
