Good news for travellers from George/ Oudsthoorn side - the Swartberg Pass is open! (At your own risk) Here’s what one of our artists had to say about the journey: “There are a few go-stops between George and Oudtshoorn, and between Oudtshoorn and Wilgewandel. At De Kombuys the whole road is blocked but there is a short detour through the farmer’s land. The Pass itself is more than reasonable and not a problem. The hole at Eerstewater has been filled with stones and the water running over the bridge no longer that much. Bottom line it can be done without a 4x4 as long as no more rain and careful driving.” And of course we look forward to welcoming you on the other side! 💫
