Scenic Drive

After a day Aquila Game Reserve we make a "scenic road trip" back home. Instead of following the busy N1 to Cape Town we turn left to the R43 and pass the Brandvleidam and the Theewaterkloofdam. If we have enough time we turn right to the R45 and cross the Franschhoek Pass. We follow the R43 till Grabouw and cross Sir Lowry's Pass back to De Helderberg region.

Alternative we follow the N1 and go over the Du Toitskloof Pass (R101) to Paarl. If there is enough time left we can visit the Language Monument in Paarl for a coffee stop and a little walk around the monument.
