The Hel (Gamkaskloof) The 24 km long Swartberg Pass, build by Thomas Bain in the 1880’s, climbs over the 1436 m above sea level. The Swartberg Pass is full of twists and turns with a steep ascent and even more impressive descent to Prince Albert. All this beauty takes on a different hue when viewed from the advance point touched by the trail. On top of the Swartberg Pass we turn left to the Hel – the following 50 km will take us 2 hours to complete. The road continues as if it will never end. At last we will enter the green valley of the Hel. Annietjie Joubert’s farm shop gives us the opportunity to buy home-made jam, dried fruit and mebos. We will also enjoy a cup of coffee at oom Zuki that manage the Hel Nature Reserve. Historian photos there will astonish you.

Elandsbay Dune route Want to have fun on sand!!! The route is situated in a Nature Conservation area. The key to successful sand driving are momentum and tyre pressure. That implies exhilarating driving, with careful maneuvering on zigzag sand route between west coast vegetation. Hard braking will be your biggest enemy – because digging will be the end result.

Botswana Selfdrive Botswana is one of the finest tourist destinations on the African continent. We travel along the 4x4 sand tracks of the Kgalagadi Trans frontier Park. We will be witnessing the ancient dancing rituals of the San Bushman around the fire. These dances are not only a celebration of life, but are also a means of passing on historic folklore from generation to generation. Learn the ways of the Bushman by a guided bush walk. We will spend 2 days at Sepupa. It is situated 60km from Shakawe and the Namibian border in the northern delta panhandle on the banks of the main Okavango River. Here you can experience the magical water ways. Exceptional good Bream & Triggerfish are to be caught, so make sure you bring your fishing rod along. We can visit places such as Tsodilo Hills, a world heritage site, with various nature trails, to see all the Bushman paintings. Mohembo Park in Namibia is only an hour’s drive away for the eager game watcher and to experience Pupa falls in Namibia. Our next stop is Sankuyo Village near Moremi National Park. Moremi is well known for its great diversity of plant & animal life. We will do game drives along the Kwai river area at Moremi. Thereafter, through the Chobe National Park to Kasane were we will spend the next 2 days. A Major feature of the Chobe National Park is the Elephant population. Day activities such as to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and game drives in Chobe will be available. No trip to Botswana is complete without visiting the Makgadikgadi pans. Our last leg will be a 500km drive to a rhino sanctuary on the outskirts of Serowe. Here after we departure back home. It will be a 14 night/15 day fun fill tour.

Namib Dune 4x4 If you agree that sand driving is the greatest joy to be had in a 4x4, you will love this trip into the Namib dunes. From Luderitz you head inland and then north into the heart of the Namib. It is one of the oldest deserts. The dunes are constantly shaped and re-shaped by searing winds,sandstorms and live-giving sea mist to form some of the highest dunes there is to visit with your 4x4. We will travel pass long forgotten mining towns, smothered by shifting sands, ship wrecks and dunes upon dunes.

Namibia Tour This Namibia tour will take you to the various outskirts of Namibia. The Kaokoveld in north-western region of Namibia is covered with rocks, plains and ragged mountains. It is often called Southern Africa’s last wilderness. Meet the friendly Himba inhabitants, 4x4 Van Zyl’s Pass, and see Epupa Falls disappear into mother earth. Came and wonder with us if the ‘White Lady at the Brandberg is really female or white. The Brandberg is referring to the reddish-orange colour of the granite in the early morning and late afternoon. The Western Namibia with all the kilometres of sand dunes is spectacular. The highest dunes shaping in the wind at sunset of sunrise is a sight not easily forgotten? Walvisbay and Swakopmund is a sightseeing & adventure paradise (quad bikes, Dune 7, Welwitschia forest, salt pans, Sandwich harbour, etc.). Game viewing in Ethosha is a dream for most of us. Ethosha has one of the world’s largest populations of endangered black rhino. The park is renowned for its lions, while leopard, cheetah, spotted hyena, elephants and various antelope species also roams there. The Fish River Canyon is the world second largest canyon. Viewing it from above you realise how small we really are. Water is a powerful force of nature that shapes this part of the country bit by bit. We will splash in the hot spring water of Ais Ais. Namibia is a country of scenic marvels. This will be a 14 night/15 day tour.

Richtersveld Tour Easter weekend 24 - 29 March 05 Cost 2500 per vehicle (2persons included) R 500 per additional adult R 300 per child under 12 years (All camping fees & Park entrance fees are included). This tour will take us to the only mountain desert in South Africa. The desert mountains of the far north-western Cape, known as the Richtersvelt, is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful parts of our subcontinent and one of the last remaining wilderness areas of South Africa. The desert scenery is spectacular and contrast vividly with the life giving waters of the Orange River. It is 162 445 hectares in size. The two most prominent and endearing features of the Richtersvelt are the weird and wonderful vegetation and geology. Life in the park is influenced by the mist from the West Coast, and the cold fronts that move in from the Atlantic. In the de Koei area the mountainsides are splashed with ‘red paint’ which on closer inspection are red aloes (Aloe pllansii). The Richtersvelt National Park has been called one of the richest succulents’ areas in the world and surveys to determine the species are ongoing. On the south-eastern side of the barrier, there is true desert with very little vegetation and very little rainfall. The mountains in the Richtersvelt are truly awe-inspiring. Early prospectors expected to find fortunes of gold, copper and diamonds buried in the rocks. Very few of these fortune seekers were successful. Three of the four campsites that we will visit are along the river bank. Fishing, swimming or just simply staring at the glorious sun setting behind you as you face the river, gently kisses the mountains turning them gold. The last camp site in the Richtersvelt is at Kokerboomkloof where the plant life is fascinating, and the silence is numbing.
