Gonjah is home to two excellent 4X4 routes that take you on an adventure through the glorious Gamtoos Valley. A variety of South African wildlife can be spotted on route including Nyala, Bushbuck and the elusive Knysna Loerie to name a few.

The shorter 4X4 route at Gonjah is 12km long and takes approximately three hours to complete. The longer route stretches for 20km, taking approximately five hours to complete. Both of Gonjah’s 4X4 routes lead you through a wide variety of South African bush or veld and you may see a range of flora and fauna ranging from indigenous fynbos and aloes (in the hills) to lush forest in the valleys/ kloofs.

The 20km route reaches heights of up to 570m at it’s highest point which offers stunning views of the valley and the Cockcomb mountain. The scenery is truly breathtaking. Those who enjoy the 4X4 routes also stand a good chance of spotting a variety of native wildlife including, Nyala, Bushbuck, Red buck (Impala) and bird species such as the famous Knysna Loerie. You may even encounter Hawks or Eagles, so it’s well worth remembering those binoculars! Offering chalets and camping.
