The Molteno Pass is on the R381 through the Nuweveld mountains on the road towards Loxton …
… R381 is initially tar and then gravel taking you over the Molteno pass and on to Loxton 110km away. Built by engineer and adventurer Thomas Baines circa 1881 this is supposedly one of the oldest mountain passes in the country. If ever you happen to overnight in Beaufort West do yourself a favour … take the R318 Loxton turnoff from the N1, drive about 20 K’s then U turn and back to the N1. It must be during golden hour time of course … thats when the magic happens!
