Baviaans is Afrikaans for Baboon, they were so numerous when the area was settled a little over 100 years ago a baboon leather factory was built to make baboon leather for braces, rucksacks, handbags and shoes which were exceptionally good. It is accessible only by gravel road an engineering masterpiece by Thomas Bains built between 1880 and 1890 it twists precariously along mountain slopes. It is 170 km's long and there are 40 river crossings, you will be grateful for the 4 wheel drive and experienced guide. Buffalo have been reintroduced into the area which is also populated by Kudu and Leopard. Lions will be introduced in the near future. |
