Today we will venture off Route 62 for a detour through the Baviaanskloof. Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area is one of South Africa's World Heritage Sites, and the Baviaanskloof Mega-Reserve is one of the largest wilderness conservation areas in the country. This wonderful wilderness area is crisscrossed exclusively by dirt roads some of which are very steep and narrow and known to be treacherous at times, so a 4 x 4 is generally advisable. The Baviaanskloof area with its unspoiled, rugged mountainous terrain offers a wide range of eco-recreational activities as well as a unique wilderness experience. Although not for the faint-hearted a visit to Baviaanskloof is an experience not to be forgotten.

As we continue our journey along the Cape Route 62, we start the new week in Ladismith, a charming hamlet with mountains on the one side and plains on the other, with vegetation ranging . The Klein Swartberg mountain range towers above the town, the highest peak, ‘magic mountain’ or Towerkop, is said to have been struck by a witch in anger because it blocked her way over the mountain. The result was a deep split at the top of the mountain, producing two perfect halves. The unique ‘Ladismith’ style of architecture has evolved from the mixture of several styles including Victorian, Edwardian, Cape Dutch, and Regency, and several buildings have been declared National Monuments. Ladismith is essentially a prosperous farming community producing fruit (grapes, a third of South Africa’s apricots, and plums), milk, wine, flowers and mutton. The town also has two cheese factories. For its unspoilt nature, starry nights and warm, clear days, the little town of Ladismith, is a lovely place to visit.
