André de Villiers together with 4x4 legend Johan Klopper start the 'Tour of Legends in Venda'. Come and see how they visit the Northern part of the beautiful country, South Africa.
The Soutpansberg is rich in history from salt mines to Venda legends. We explore the southwestern part where we have to drive cautiously in 4x4 before we can see this beautiful view.
After a historical experience, we travel back through the Hendrik Verwoerd tunnel, we drive 4x4 sand roads to the top of the mountain where we admire the Pierneef trees and Johan teaches us how to read a sand newspaper.
We drove The Mambas Pass' 4x4 obstacles because Johan wants to show me the "Tweeling" Dam and the largest Baobab in South Africa, before we finish off this part of the tour with Johan Klopper.
We set off with seasoned off-road guide Johan Kriek on one of his popular BunduTec safaris. We also gain unique and new insights during a visit to a remote Pedi cultural settlement.
André and the convoy have to clear thickets to be able to continue on their way to the high-altitude Mafefe 4x4 camp. It is located on the African-Ivory route and modeled after the Pedi culture.
André is escorted on a route up to the Wolkberg wilderness of the Lekgalameetse reserve with Tour Operator Johan Kriek. They explore the area before they start to descend from the top of the Bushveld to the bottom of the Lowveld.
