An off-road driver-training facility run by Protea 4x4 on natural terrain inside the Rhino & Lion Nature Reserve near Kromdraai, about 30 minutes from Johannesburg. It is a course venue rather than an open trail: training covers rocky climbs and technical descents, and the company also runs off-road towing courses. Protea 4x4 has trained for Mitsubishi Motors South Africa for many years.
