This is a self-drive, fully-guided camping trail to the Makgadikgadi salt pans and game reserve in Botswana. The trail offers a rare opportunity for not only off-roading, but to enjoy the beauty and desolation that the silence of these pans offers. This will be an experience that will leave an everlasting impression on the memory and a longing to return. Get more information on this outing here. |  | Thu 06-Sun 09 Sep - Additional extended outing to the Tuli Block, Botswana
Because of the popularity of the trip to the Tuli Block in Botswana we have added an additional trip. The Tuli Elephant Trail has been the best-attended and most spoken-about trail in the past two years. The many surprises that were encountered by those that were fortunate enough to go on the trip are spoken about at almost every gathering that club members attend. The Tuli Block must be one of Botswana's most underrated destinations. Read more about this trip here. |  | Fri 21-Sat 29 Sep - Extended outing to Ponta Malongane, Mozambique
This year’s trip to Mozambique will be to the Malongane Dive and Holiday Resort and not Bilene as in previous years. Malongane is a holiday resort in the subtropical southern Mozambique right on the beach - an ideal family holiday - and the week falls during the school holidays. Malongane is the place for divers, fisherman, shell collectors, bird watchers, 4x4 enthusiasts and family holidaymakers. Get more information on this outing here. | | | Cross-Border Safari Register

About the Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern AfricaThe club is a family-orientated, recreational club for 4x4 owners that stands for responsible off-road driving. It was established in March 1972, when a dozen 4x4 enthusiasts gathered to form ‘The Four Wheel Drive Club of South Africa’ which became ‘The Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern Africa’ when the Botswana and Swaziland sections were incorporated. Currently the club consists of ten branches with about 1600 members. For newcomers, the club gives you a chance to evaluate vehicles by communicating with other members before buying. Most people buy before joining, but if one joins first, one has an opportunity of making a better choice. Watching 4x4s in action at our monthly Sunday outings and talking to owners will give you useful information. The club is also involved in the following: The club owns a property called Base 4 which is situated near Johannesburg off the R511 between Doornrantjes and Hennops - to see a map click here.
