Balla BallaAfrican Bicycle tour - Tough

I know this is not hunting BUT it is very interesting story to read especially for those whom have traversed these routes by vehicle,
I cant imagine that trip on a bike, maybe Lance Armstrong could do it, but not mere mortals like you and I
Also some beautiful OLD PICTURES as well
Some people have a dream and the will to do anything

Their route also passes by our Conservancy ranch in the Zoutpansberg Mountoians

This OLD picture of the road through Wylies Poort before the tunnel was constructed is now IN FACT part of our Conservancy Ranch
If you look towards the left of existing paved road that is where the OLD ROAD used to traverse between the mountains BUT after very severe flooding and the road being washed away many times they decided to build the tunnel completed in 1961 which is still there today
