Most people travelling on the N4 from Nelspruit towards either Kruger National Park or Mozambique are familiar with the spectacular range of hills on the southern side of the road, particularly in the Kaapmuiden area. These are the Krokodilpoortsberge.
If you travel between Nelspruit and Barberton on the R40 you get to cross these rugged hills on a tar road that surely has some of the tightest corners in South Africa.
