Get ready for the ultimate off-roading adventure as we delve into the untouched landscapes of the Roggeveld, Koup, and Moordenaars Karoo. BOC Adventures recently hosted a four-day expedition that took participants through these three regions, spanning two provinces - the Western Cape and Northern Cape. This unforgettable trip was a true paradise for off-road enthusiasts, offering breathtaking scenery and thrilling experiences.
From the moment the adventure kicked off with a hearty farmer's breakfast in Karoo 1, to exploring historical hamlets like Matjiesfontein, each day was filled with excitement and wonder. We had the opportunity to drive through exclusive areas untouched by civilization, enjoy bucket list veld braais in secluded spots, and camp under the stars in picturesque locations like Buffelsrivier and Spitzkop. Whether you're an experienced overlander, a 4x4 enthusiast, or simply love camping amidst nature's wonders, this blog post will take you on a journey like no other.
So buckle up and get ready to explore the untamed beauty of the Roggeveld, Koup, and Moordenaars Karoo.
Day 1: The Adventure Kicks Off
Our adventure kicked off early in the morning as we gathered at Karoo 1, east of the picturesque Hex River Valley at 09:30AM where we met our fellow adventurers and enjoyed a hearty Farmers Breakfast. We took the N1 to Maitjiesfontein, where we spent a while to explore this historical hamlet. This journey led us through beautiful Karoo landscapes. We then took the road less traveled from Matjiesfontein towards Laingsburg. Where the group stayed the night at Buffelsrivier Campsite.
Day 2: A Circle Route Through Untouched Beauty
Day two promised even more beauty and adventure as we drove a circle route through a very exclusive area of approx 8000ha, untouched by civilisation. Lunch was served with thrilling experience itself as we found a secluded spot for a bucket list VELD BRAAI. And we spent another night under the stars at Buffelsrivier Campsite.
Day 3: Exploring the Hidden Gems of Moordenaars Karoo
On our final full day, we left Roggeveld in the Northern Cape, exploring hidden gems that only the most intrepid explorers can reach. We then ventured further to our last campsite in the “Moordenaars Karoo” at the beautiful Spitzkop.
Day 4: Reflections and Farewells
We woke up and said our goodbyes and everyone made their way home. It was an unbelievable couple of days traveling through the picturesque Karoo.
Thanks to BOC Adventures and our sponsors RAW4x4 as well as M-Tech for making this an unforgettable Karoo Weekend that we won't be able to forget.
Happy Trails,
BOC Team!
