In short - what a Epic trip this was!

Day 4:
Thaba Tseka Camp to Mapoka Camp
The plan today was to drive around the Katse Dam area and the go to a campsite close to the Weir. This would involve some 4x4 tracks as well.
We drove to the Dam wall and also drove over it. Must say it is all very impressive.
The route (4x4) which was planned turned out to be a normal gravel road and we also had to turn around as they were blasting a section. We then drove to the planned campsite to find that it also does not exist anymore and that they are now mining sand at the specific spot.
We therefore had to change our plans. The next option would be the Mapoka campsite close the the Letseng mine. We drove to the mine security and got the relevant approval. From there we drove down on a mild 4x4 track to the campsite. This turned out to be a very great campsite next to a river. Their used to be ablutions, but due to floods etc they were not usable and this turned out to be a wild camp as well.
The views again was amazing. The road to the campsite also gives a bit of a 4x4 experience and has to be done in Low Range. Luckily it is not too technical and I can really recommend this camp to anyone with a 4x4 with Low Range.
Day 5:
Today will be the last day of our trip.
In order to leave the camp we had to cross a river. Luckily it was not too difficult. We just had to pack some rocks to exit the river. The water level was luckily low.
From there we took a 4x4 track out back to the mine. This route was a scenic track with a couple of river crossings.
This track was actually perfect for the last day of the trip.
Back on the main road we head towards Afriski. There was a little bit of snow, but nothing major. We quickly had a coffee at Afriski. They told us that they were expecting about 30 cm of snow in the coming days.
From there we took the road down towards the Caledonspoort border post. Going down it is a good idea to make use of engine braking, otherwise your brakes will overheat.
Back in the country we all head our separate ways home.
What a trip this was and has definitely changed how I look at 4x4 trails and routes...
