The Swartberg Pass (Black Moun
Welcome to the Swartberg Pass information page - in addition to guides like this article we also list a broad selection of hotels, B&B's, guesthouses and self-catering establishments. Please check out our Garden Route page if you're looking for
Garden Route accommodation. The spectacular Swartberg Pass is the reason that Prince Albert is so lush in the middle of the Karoo Desert. The pass is Prince Albert's lifeline, not only because it links the farming town to the coast, but also because water channeled off the side of the pass ensures that Prince Albert collects every last drop of any rainfall.
In addition to attraction guides TravelGround also has a perfect selection of
South Africa accommodation. Take a look!

Reviews of Swartberg Pass:
“
Spectacular
”
One of the most exciting experiences of my life although the last time I did it there was rain and fog and that was not so much fun as you really had t concentrate on the road and the scenery was largely obscured. Pick a clear day and enjoy the view.
