About Swartberg

Swartberg is a small Klein Karoo town off the N12, handy for locals nipping to Oudtshoorn, De Rust, or Dysselsdorp, all under 40 km away. The real pull though is the Swartberg Pass, Thomas Bain's 1888 gravel masterpiece linking through to Prince Albert, a favourite for road trippers from as far as Hawston and Wolseley. Fill up in Oudtshoorn first, as charging points and fuel stops thin out fast once you hit the mountains.
