Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Dirk

I noticed that there are two trips being organised by the 4x4 Community forum...

How family friendly is this?
We do not mind camping in the wold and making our own toilet in the ground, but is it generallly done by families, of men only?

Went with the community guys last year - big group of aprx 20 vehicles, would definately prefer a smaller group of more "like mided people"

Everybody is welcome, we had pre-schoolers, skoolkids, and wife's on the trip, so if they dont mind the zero facilities they are welcome.

The guy with the small kids brought along one of those pop up cubicles and used that as an ablution for the kids so that they dont need to walk into the veld away from the camp and lights. Another guy got in his car every time and drove his wife away from camp for privacy.

As long as the kids stick close to camp at night there should be no problem at all.

Only problem this year is that there is no long weekend in AUG so the kids might need to skip a day or two of school.

Dirk, is this big five territory?
If so, which reserves?

No, the only animals we will encounter are Donkies and Cattle.
Just a case of pich dark so if one moves away to far from camp the small kids might get lost.

Pictjars say a thousand words....

Dit lyk baie lekker, sal kyk of ek kan af kry by die werk.

Wil nie meer as 10 voertuie gaan nie dan raak die groep weer te groot.

Dis net lekker speel in die sand met do bietjie klip e water vir afwisselig.

Classic.

Ek was op 1 of 2 river trips voor ek dit vir die Patrol groep begin reel het. As ek reg onthou was die eerste een net die Klein Letaba en dit was voor daar enige myn aktiwieteite was

Ek en Rudgar het op die gegaan, toe oortuig ek Mnr Boegman om ons te join and the rest is History as they say......

Ek het actually so bietjie vergeet van die twee spoor so langs die wildtuin af en het ons teer gery tot by die brug so paar keer tot ek weer wakker geskrik het en dit by die roete ingesluit het.

So paar van ons het al in een jaar die rivier meer as een keer ook gery, so groepie van 5 voertuie is lekker en mens kuier en speel baie lekker.

Hoop maar die rivier gaan nog rybaar wees vir 'n jaar of 3, hy word letterlik korter en meer klip jaar op jaar!
