BOEGOEBERG 4X4 & THE DUNES
TWO OF THE MOST POPULAR 4 x 4 DESTINATIONS IN THE WESTERN CAPE
2 – 4 OCTOBER 2026
ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
Cederberg 4x4 will once again be doing a trip to two of the most popular 4x4 destinations in the Western Cape namely; Boegoeberg 4x4 in the western Cederberg and the ever popular The Dunes 4x4 trail near Lambert’s Bay. Base camp for the weekend will be made at Boegoeberg 4x4, regularly rated in the Top 10 4x4 destinations in the country. The camp is set around a dam with an amazing sandstone swimming pool, enough trees for shade and grass underfoot. Electrical power/water points are found throughout the camp as well as top class ablution facility always supplying warm water. Spread the word and invite your friends to an amazing weekend getaway.
The Boegoeberg 4x4 Trail
On this trip we will only be driving the short route of the Boegoeberg 4x4 trail which includes a scenic rocky mountain section ending with a challenging sand section ensuring many highlights and personal challenges among the vehicles. Here there will be individual prizes awarded by Cederberg 4x4 to drivers for technique and perseverance on the sand section of the Boegoeberg 4x4 trail. Support from the passengers will help the driver to win a prize on the day.
The Dunes 4x4 trail
The Dunes 4x4 trail only 10km in distance, situated in a naturally formed dune area of approx. 350 hectares, does not grow or move as many other dune areas have the tendency to do. The dunes situated only 10km outside of Lambert’s Bay are unique to this area and offer the participants various forms of driving challenges without any major impact on the environment. Under the ever-watchful eye of Jan the owner and your seasoned Cederberg 4x4 guide, you will have the opportunity to experiment with your vehicle by using different gear selections and getting to know your vehicle, all while trying to conquer those seemingly impossible dunes of early morning. Some of the key factors in getting over the dunes involve power, momentum and tyre pressure. As your technique and confidence grow, those seemingly impossible dunes of the early morning don’t look all that daunting as the day continues. A day filled with great fun for all.
