We did a staff weekend there this year, a truly remarkable area! It is the large tract of land in the mountains along the Crocodile River east of town that is conserved under the auspices of Mpumalanga Parks Board.
Will do a sort of trip report...

Or am I talking of another road

We went in the school bus..endless delays from waiting for shop to liquid leaking from underside of vehicle..sort of like a gigantic Dimwits trip.
Next delay was a cash in transit robbery that blocked the Gorge for hours...fortunately the turnoff was right there, and we eventually crept forward a few metres on the wrong side of the road!
We stayed at this lodge, Inkwali. Quite a secret and a couple of km of hectic dirt road inside, but well worth it!
