Baviaanskloof
Willowmore to Patensie through the Baviaanskloof: mountain passes, river crossings and very few people. It's a long, slow day; most people stay a night in the kloof. Check conditions after rain, when the crossings can be deep.
Change the dates, stops and your vehicle. The planner works out fuel, night stops, sunset, weather and the grade of every road. Then ride it: GPX straight to your Garmin or bike app, or Google Maps and Waze on your phone.
Distances and grades from the planner's route on OpenStreetMap roads. Your plan may differ.
Hardest stretch: Pre-single, rocks, steep climbs, sand, river crossings. The grade reads differently by vehicle: what's fun on an adventure bike can be slow and hard in a car.
