De Wildt 4x4 Trail
The De Wildt 4x4 trail is situated North of Pretoria on the Pretoria North/Brits road.
Some of my friends rated this route as a game drive. I guess it all depend on your vehicle and your experience. We enjoyed every moment of it.
If you are looking for a nice family outing for the day with ample game, fauna and flora, this route is for you. You can take very nice photographs of Gemsbok, Eland, Wildebees, Zebra, Giraffe, etc.
It might not be what the hardcore 4x4 people are looking for, but for somebody who do not want to damage his vehicle but still want some challenges this is a good track. If you are faint hearted, there are always a detour where you can go around the obstacle. The detours makes it so easy that it is even recommended for 4x2 vehicles. There are also entertainment for after the trail. Picnic area with braai facilities, a swimming pool, lapa, climbing, etc.
