22 Jan 2009Vleesbaai Dunes
Discover the wild beautiful side of the Garden Route on the farm ‘Misgunst’, situated on the Indian seaboard near the village of Vleesbaai - home to the unique Vleesbaai 4×4Dune Route.
Apart from the thrills of a vehicle friendly 4×4 dune route challenge, there is also the option of a lush camping area that includes ablution facilities with hot water, a picnic on the beach, fishing, hiking along the beach - not to mention the thrill of experiencing some of the unique fauna & flora found only in the Southern Cape!
A true outing for the whole family! “… fun for the whole family and presents a whole new challenge for up-country folk… ideal place to hone your sand driving skills… the rest of the family can relax and unwind on the beach…”
“…a really enjoyable dune ride 12km of pure fun that can provide drivers of all skill levels an enjoyable couple of hours. At times you’re only a stone’s throw from the water’s edge, although no beach driving is involved.”
We did this route a few times and it is quit challenging in places. It is 12km long and have a difficulty rating of 3-4. You will have to let down the pressure of your tyres to around 1 Bar. You will soon find that it is best to do so around the first bend of the route. There are a few challenging dunes and some beautiful scenery. The last stop at the beach where you can have a picnic and rest a little is nice. It is here at The Dune where you can see how the enthusiasts test their vehicles and sand driving skills,sometimes we just smile at some peoples approach to this monster dune!!
