- Going down the Gannaga Pass was absolutely fantastic and so exciting! This pass is in the Tankwa Karoo National Park and is a must visit if you are in the area. Driving down was a real treat, especially with all the rain that washed out the gravel road. It was slow going, but the views from this pass were stunning. I must say the Renault Kwid was amazing on this road, we even passed a large 4x4 which had a flat tyre, but we arrived at the bottom with no casualties whatsoever. #DustBugs #adventuretravel #southafrica #southafricavlog #karoo #tankwakaroo #gannagapass #renaultkwid

Ganaga was bui!d in 1893 by some of my ancestors and the Shepherds and Warricks from Scotland! My great grandfather was Jan Willem Heymeriks Augustyn from Germany! Last part of Ganaga they have to put two pairs of donkeys to get the wagon on top! There was a old pass from the middle turn which was much steeper!!!!!
Hair raising to say the least😳 I’d have needed sedation🤣🤣🤣
All i cn say is repect to the driver of the Kwid n respect to the engineets n builders of such a magnificent pass ...God has spent a lot of special time in South Afrca ...giving us such beauty n spledour 😮❤😊
I thought Sonia be grabbing the chair. Do you guys have signal when you at this remote location. Love this pass im definitely putting it on my list
Absolutely zero signal in this area! 🚫 You're so right, Sonia was gripping her seat from beginning to end! There were quite a few deep ditches where the soil had been washed away by the rain, but very exciting to navigate! A definite must-do when you're in the area.
Hallo julle twee julle maak my dag dis so mooi die Gruispaaie dis wonderlik en die rotse dis so mooi dankie ❤
Sonia makes me laugh, cracking myself listening to her 😂🤣
Did you guys air down your tyres or did you just go for it?
Nope, never. Not even once. I immediately have to add and say we always take it super slow and don't mind a lot of bumps and shakes. Have a fantastic time and safe travels! 🚙🤩
I was just saying I bet Sonja is holding on to the seat with both hands when you said the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Your videos have inspired me, we are leaving for the Tankwa this week!
I'm with you on that sweaty hands and feet Sonia....
This so reminds me of the road up Sani Pass
What an amazing pass, stunning 🏆
It was an stunning drive and still one of the most exciting ones we've done so far! 🚗🤩
Pragtig
Stunning thank you
The beautiful Gannaga pass....Sonia can be glad you went down the pass and not up...Beautiful part of our country the Tankwa...
I shall be completely honest. I'm very glad too that we didn't go up, but down. At the bottom of the pass, we happened upon a rather large and fancy 4 x 4 on the side of the road. The driver was changing a tyre. I couldn't help but smile and in that moment felt very proud of the Kwiddie. 😁🚗 And yes, the Tankwa is gorgeous. Some of the worst corrugation we've ever experienced, but gorgeous all the same!
Okay scary for me anyway. I also sat up straight and held on my seat for your sake Sonie. Very beautiful!!!!!
The view from the Gannaga Pass was truly breathtaking and worth every bump and ditch! 😁
Sjoe, ek ken die vrees vir afgronde... Gewoonlik wil die bestuurder nog rondkyk... Maar dis ongelooflik dat jul dit met die rooi karretjie dit kan ry.. Dankie dat ek ook kan saamreis. Jul maak 'n ander wêreld vir 'n mens oop..
This pass was particularly tricky because of the ditches in the road, but the little car navigated it fantastically! The sheer cliffs are what make it really exciting! And yes, the driver is ALWAYS looking around. The world is waiting for you to go and explore. 😁
Definitely exciting! I'm glad it's not me in Sonny's place. Would be speaking in tongues by now
Definitely one of the most exciting passes we've travelled. Let's be real, there was some speaking in tongues at certain points. 🤩
Thanks I enjoyed another journey with you, even if it was a little hair raising at times. :)
Those ditches were deep in some places, but we loved every moment! We were very glad that we were going down that day though, not sure we would've made it all the way up! 😨
Great drive and great view ansolutely
Indeed. A memorable pass for sure. 😁🚗
I nearly had a heart attack or two on this road.... but stunning scenery
That landscape is very close to our hearts, but Sonia's almost didn't make it either! 😁🚗 Glad you took this exciting drive with us!
