Then following the centre of the peninsula you journey through the stunning rolling fields that lead you to Mount Compass. Beyond which lie the Mount Magnificent and beyond the forest of Kuitpo.

As you continue your journey, you'll reach the historic town of Kuipto, a picturesque town with a rich history. Kuipto is renowned for its stunning rural landscapes, historic buildings, and vibrant community.
