The newly-opened 4x4 eco-trails in the magnificent Karoo National Park allow visitors to experience a new area of the almost 90 000-hectare park. The Nuweveld Trail (around 90km) is a Grade one 4x4 trail with some steep, rocky sections and sandy dry river crossings, while the shorter Afsaal Trail (13km) provides a challenging drive. Visitors can enjoy both the Nuweveld and Afsaal Routes free of charge, with the Embizweni Cottage acting as the ideal overnight accommodation should you wish to use it.
