No cellphone reception in the Baviaanskloof. Phone ahead to ensure someone is expecting you.
Make sure the spare tyre is pumped and in the back of the truck. Take all necessary equipment along to help with a flat tyre or a broken fanbelt.
Traveling on the main public road through the Baviaanskloof between Willowmore and Patensie does not require a permit from the Dept. of Nature Conservation. However in heavy downpours parts of the road are often washed away, so phone ahead to find out logistics.
A signboard as you enter the Baviaanskloof declares that the next refuse bin is 93km away. So please do not litter and when visiting the Baviaanskloof area please remember to take away all refuse generated by you during your stay, since it not only pollutes the environment but also holds tragic consequences for wild animals like the baboon.
