Orrie Baragwanath Pass Explained

Orrie Baragwanath Pass is situated in the Limpopo Province on the road between Ofcolaco and Lebowakgomo (South Africa). Part of the road is numbered as the R37. The pass has a steep paved ascent from the east up the slopes of the far northern Drakensberg mountains to a height of 1370 m above sea level.[1] From the west there is an equally steep but unpaved ascent with a fairly flat unpaved section of approximately 10 kilometers along the summit between the two approaches. Although most of the pass is located in Lekgalameetse Provincial Park, it is nevertheless a public road with free access. An access fee is payable if entering the pass from the Lekgalameetse entrance gate.
