Not Taaibos 4x4, Taaibos the area. It's at Platbank Adventures. Taaibos 4X4 happens to be their next door neighbour.

I'll be going for sure.

Platbank and Taaibos are next to one another.
I've done Taaibos.
There's a bit of boeretwiss between the 2 venues.
I believe the differences are:
Taaibos - great camping crap trail.
Platbank - awesome trail, but camping is not as nice.
