The Abel Erasmus is a 11km long Pass along R36 through the Drakensberg region in Limpopo. Driving through the Pass makes for a beautiful experience with rocky mountainsides, valleys and surrounding area. The road can be steep and a little bit windy at times but isn't difficult to drive or unsafe.
The Pass is north of the famous Panorama Route and Blyde River Canyon and makes for a nice complement to those beautiful places if you are travelling there from areas around Hoedspruit and Central and Northern sections of Kruger National Park (KNP). We have made our drive to Graskop along this route a couple times over the years and really enjoyed the scenery, particularly in the area of the Abel Erasmus Pass.
