      Used to tow my small boat (4.4m) on the beach with it too. Mozambique, Sodwana, Cape Vidal and numerous spots here in KZN. I live in Umdloti. The Subaru never failed to get us on and off the beach to spearfishing launch sites.

      SA roads and taxis are definitely dangerous. If you think this pass isn't dangerous then so be it... We thought it was dangerous on the day we did it and the numours wrecks showed us it can be deadly...

    Sani Pass is doable if you are a good driver. I drove up to Sani Lodge in my Toyota Venture, not a 4 x 4. I was 38 years old, female with a son who was 8 years old. No 4 x 4 needed.

    • @justus.genstef
      @justus.genstef  5 місяців тому

      That's great! I totally agree. No dont need a 4x4, if the weather is favourable. And the roads werent washing away. If we didn't have 4x4 we wouldn't have made it up and down would have sketchy! We are 3.7ton and a turning circle of a bus!

      Yes I've also seen 2 wheel drive cars going up there. In bad weather like we experienced it's a dangerous pass. That's why there has been so any accidents on this pass. Cars driving up and down that shouldn't for various reasons. So yes we thought it's a dangerous pass on the day we did it!
