Programme (English)

Most of South Africa's back roads run through rugged and beautiful scenic areas. Many of these routes are not accessible to the general public. By joining our drives and safari's you will not only get access to these gems, but also experience some of our countryside's best kept secrets. Explorer Braham van Zyl, an experienced outdoor guide and travel journalist, will be your host on most of these trails.

Day routes will take place at the same venue on both the Saturday and the Sunday.

Camping facilities or cottages / guesthouses will be available at weekend routes.

Program (Afrikaans)

Spesiale roetes vir voertuie wat gemaak is om ons land se amper vergete agterpaaie te verken.

Baie van ons roetes loop langs ou wapaaie, vergete veldpaadjies of grondpaaie wat baie min gebruik word. Dis net die soort van ryplek vir diegene wat 'n diff-lock bakkie, Freelander, RAV, CR-V, Terios, iO of iets soortgelyks het. Dié paaie is almal in 'n redelik goeie toestand en jou voertuig sal dus nie sommer seerkry nie. Daar sal egter genoeg geleentheid langs die pad geskep word om ook die voertuie se eintlike veldryvermoë te beproef. Braham van Zyl, wat vroeër vir die Buite-Burger buitelugstories geskryf het, is jou gids tydens die meeste van hierdie togte. Kliek hier om aan te skuif na ons storieblad waar 'n klompie van sy artikels te lees is.

Die oornagplekke bied beide kampeerplekke en hutte of gastehuise. Ons aktiwiteite is op die gesin gerig en daar sal genoeg te doen wees vir kinders. Ons maak ook langs die pad soveel as moontlik kontak met plaaslike inwoners wie ons besoeke aan hulle gebiede verryk met hulle kennis van die wêreld waar hulle bly.

Beplanning van uitritte

byeenkomste vind so na as moontlik aan die eerste naweek van elke maand plaas

Dagroetes vind plaas op plekke waar ons op beide die Saterdag en die Sondag beskikaar sal wees.

Kampeerfasiliteite of kothuise / gastehuise is beskikbaar by naweekroetes.

Lang safari’s bestaan uit verskillende bene. Gaste kan self besluit hoeveel hiervan hulle wil meemaak.

Koperatiewe groepe is welkom om ons te kontak vir inligting rakende spesiale groepritte
