Magoebaskloof, Mountain pass and road system in Limpopo, South Africa.
The Magoebaskloof pass extends over 446 meters in vertical climb, featuring steep sections with gradients reaching 1:9 along the R71 road route.
The region belonged to Chief Makgoba of the Tlou Tribe before Afrikaner settlers established themselves in the Tzaneen area prior to 1905.
The pass incorporates thirteen platforms connected by steel cables, enabling visitors to observe native wildlife and vegetation from elevated positions.
During rainy seasons and misty conditions, drivers need to maintain low speeds and use headlights while navigating the mountain pass sections.
The mountain biking route includes a descent from 1400 meters to 800 meters above sea level through tea plantations and forest areas.

From the windy tip of the Cape to the blue line of the Drakensberg, South Africa stacks landscapes that do not resemble each other. A morning on Table Mountain, an evening facing the whales of Hermanus, and between them red trails, deep canyons, lagoons, vineyards, and reserves where large animals pass through. Kruger opens its roads at dawn, Pilanesberg sketches an ancient crater, iSimangaliso blends reefs and wetlands. Further afield, the rugged coast preserves its cliffs, the Richtersveld its succulent deserts, and the Valley of Desolation its frozen lava columns. Here, travel is at eye and light level, to the rhythm of a vast land that changes its face at every turn.
