Charles Pass. This pass will leave an everlasting impression on you. It is a track with a few tricky sections. Rocks, sharp stones and patches of soft sand.
Pella Pass. An easy route, except for severe corrugations. The route connects Pella with the water purification works of the Orange River, and follows a pipeline which carries water from this plant to Pella and further afield.

Go to the interactive map for the passes.

We ourselves got stuck through Charles Pass on one occasion. Be prepared to get yourself out of trouble. A high-lift jack is in action here.

Kamgab Area and the Road to Hell. Road to Hell must be travelled with more than 1 vehicle and is not for the faint hearted. Unfortunately once you reach the river, you will have to come all the way back on the same route. Steep gradients. No trailers. You do not have to go through Road to Hell to do the trail.
