MAKING HEADLINES

Bigger and better than ever • The all-new Grand Cherokee L has been introduced to the South African market and according to Anton Willemse Jnr it promises to breathe new life into the brand and the product.

Leading by example • The fifth generation of Kia’s ever-popular Sportage, which was recently launched locally, builds on the proud legacy of its predecessors. At the same time, however, it enters an exciting new age by offering significant improvements in tactile quality, overall refinement, and driver enjoyment.

Gear & gadgets

Sleek new hard-shell model from 4x4 Mega World • A rooftop tent (RTT) is a go-to product for most overlanders and chances are that you have seen vehicles driving along with what looks like an odd-shaped storage bag or a weird rooftop storage bin. But, as Anton Willemse Snr explains, the fact is those tents fold out to become great off-the-ground oases in the bundu.

Twist and shout! • Have you ever heard of the Monkey Puzzle, Ghoena Twister, Eliminator, the Impossible Crossing or Balarometer Hill?

If not, and you are adventurous enough, Nico Denner thinks you should make a DVR Xtreme 4x4 route part of your bucket list.

Flocking to beautiful Botswana • A detour of 700km is not exactly something you want to undertake when you have just completed a 3 300km tour through Botswana.

Destination unknown • Since 2015, the Mystery Rally has brought families and 4x4 enthusiasts together in the country’s biggest Easter egg hunt, searching for clues while enjoying spectacular campsites and great 4x4 trails around the Western Cape. Huge prizes are up for grabs for those who travel the shortest distance or make the best potjie, but at the end of the day it’s all about adventure, as nobody knows exactly where they’ll end up. Andrew Middleton joined in this year’s fun.

Going big in big-sky country • The Namaqua West Coast region is famous for its open roads, starry skies, and magnificent flowers. Making the most of it depends on having the right vehicle, writes Clifford Roberts.

Big on space, comfort, and safety

More smiles, per mile • Weekends are meant for family and fun. To find out just how much of both can be crammed into one day, Calvin Fisher stretched the tiny legs of the new Suzuki Celerio to its absolute limit with the help of his squad.

TRAVEL GUIDE

Magical Midlands • The somewhat mysterious sprawling beauty of the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands has always intrigued Mary Willemse, but the ‘powers that be’ (read grumpy hubby) could never be persuaded to take a trip to this not-so-hidden gem.
