… for kms & fuel, Im assuming
Harrismith - Camp1. 35 km * 2 = 70km
Camp1 - Camp2. 40 km * 2 = 80km
Day 2 circuit on Mountain. 80 km
Total. 230 km
Assuming off road/4*4 etc. Equiv 500km
… for me 2/3 tank fuel

… maybe I’ll take 1 jerry gat-sakkie fuel.
Don't underestimate how much fuel you will use. High altitude and low range chomps fuel. I did 120km on a tank when I would normally do 350km. I was expecting to be able to do about 180km.

If your 4x4 can't do, at least 300km comfortably in the worst conditions, you either bought the wrong 4x4 or there is something wrong with your 4x4.
To check if there is something wrong with it, open the bonnet.
If you see plug leads, that's your problem - you bought the wrong 4x4...

No plug leads in the traditional sense. So I guess there must be something wrong with my 4x4. Maybe it's just the big tyres?
