EBUTSINI 4X4 TRAIL
Off-Road Quad / 4x4 Trails
in eKulindeni, Grass & Wetlands,
Mpumalanga, South Africa
Situated between the Swaziland border and Songimvelo Nature Reserve, a new
community driven project focusing on the ever-increasing 4x4 market!
Within 3 hours drive from Gauteng, this is exactly what the city "slaves" are
looking for.
The Ebutsini trail is a 30km scenic route and starts at the Ekulindeni
Tourism Centre situated 50km from Badplaas. The trail takes you through an area
of undiscovered scenic beauty and clear mountain streams; a mountainous area of
pristine beauty. It takes 4-5 hours to complete, depending on time spent at the
picnic and view points.
Along the way you can stop to interact with the local people in picturesque
villages and kraals. The area is rich in history with interesting geological
features.
The trail is aimed at the 4x4 leisure market with an optional 4x4 obstacle if
a real challenge is desired. The obstacle is only for advance 4x4 drives with
vehicles that are equipped with recovery points and equipment, or for groups
with a qualified 4x4 guide.
Vehicles will not be damaged or scratched on the normal route if care is
taken.
