This 4x4 trail is a perfect challenge for all enthusiasts that want to learn more about the capabilities of his/her vehicle. Become more confident with and maximise the potential of that expensive 4wd vehicle.
The trail includes mud-holes, steep rocky climbs, descents and dongas. Also not forgetting to come and see our well known Zonkies.
For those that are seeking a new challenge at Hennops, the Klipdrift route is open to public by prior arrangement only and for groups of 4 or more vehicles.
How it works
Booking is not essential but you are welcome to use our online booking service.
Gates open at 8:30 and close strictly at 17:00.
The trail is a self drive trail that is about 9km long and takes about 2-3 hours to complete, depending on how busy it is.
Entrance fee is R220 per vehicle which includes 4 persons, additional visitors will be charged R60 per adult and R30 for children under the age of 12. Unfortunately we do not have any credit card facilities available and due to fraud cheques are not accepted.
Starting off
The trail has a 2 (low-range required but suitable for first timers) – 4 (technical trail for the experienced) grading. The layout of the trail is in such a way that you will be able to take a detour should you wish to avoid an obstacle.
Please ensure that your vehicles hubs are locked if they are not automatically locked. We recommend deflating your tyres to 1 bar or as indicated by your 4wd training instructor. Unfortunately we don’t have air available to inflate your tyres so you should either bring a compressor or go to the petrol garage which is about 4km from the entrance gate.
On the trail you will find axle twisters, rocky climbs, declines, dongas and mud-holes. We do need to leave something for the imagination so let’s not elaborate more on the obstacles.
You can expect to see herds of Zebra, Blou Wildebeest, Blesbok and Impala together with a wide variety of bird life and smaller animals along the trail. Also look out for the Zonkies.
