Zebra Crossing 4x4 Route
Gamkaberg Nature Reserve (Klein Karoo) · Western Cape 4x4 route
An out-and-back route from the Gamkaberg reserve office up onto the plateau, where most of the reserve's herd animals graze. CapeNature calls it moderate and puts it at about three hours to Oukraal camp and back. From Oukraal, about 20 km more of tracks reach Mathee se Hek, and the 11 km Fontein Loop near the Southern Gate is a good place to look for zebra and eland. The reserve was set up to protect Cape mountain zebra.
