Tierkloof | 4×4 Trails & Camping | Rawsonville

Where People & Nature Meet

There are a lot of activities to do at Tierkloof like hiking, canoeing, fishing, kayaking. Come and have a great day at the dam, only for Tierkloof camping and 4x4 customers.

4X4Route:

You’d be correct in expecting a steep rocky ascent and descent at Tierkloof, but the surprise sting in the tail is the soft sand challenge. ​Although the trail covers only 12km, there is plenty to keep off-road adventurers amused, starting with a rocky climb that will be a sweaty-palmed, white-knuckled experience for rookies and a challenge for seasoned campaigners. The fun begins almost immediately after you turn off the main road, with a 5km mountain ascent littered with huge boulders and a gap between looming rocks where marshalling is recommended.  Your reward on reaching the Bloukop view site +/- 780 meters high, a magnificent panorama over Brandvlei Dam towards Worcester. ​Taking another route down the mountain will confront you with a deep dive into a normally dry riverbed, some sandy sections and finally Tierkloof’s sting in the tail, a daunting but safe climb in deep, soft sand that is very hard on normal road pressures.Must See: Cave and Wolves Den
