  Sun 02 - Thu 07 Oct - Beline, Mozambique - Cross-border Extended Outing
Due to the popularity of this outing, we have again put together a trip to Mozambique! This is a great place to be introduced to the warmth and friendliness of Mozambique and its people! Complexo Palmeiros is located in Bilene (formerly San Martino), which is positioned about 200 kilometers north of Maputo in the Gaza Province. Palmeiros is situated on a salted lagoon, which is about 35 kilometers long and 2 kilometers wide, and connected to the sea by a channel, making it a very secure family holiday with warm, crystal-clear water.

  Sat 02 - Sun 10 Oct - Faces of the Namib Adventure - Cross-border Extended Outing
For many years we have been trying to organise a trip to the Namib Desert on the West Coast of Namibia (restricted concession land). Well here it is, and due to some negotiations we have not only secured a trip but also at a very good price. For those of you that have been longing for the adrenalin rush of driving the giant dunes of the Namib and to experience the vastness of the oldest desert in the world and its spectacular scenery and special flora and fauna, then this adventure is for you.

  Sat 30 - Sun 31 Oct - Three Provinces Eco Trail - Weekend Outing
The Three Provinces 4x4 Adventure Trail is surely one of the club's favourite venues and this will be the fifth year that we have planned this weekend. This venue has been "highly recommended" by Drive Out Magazine. The owners Ronel and Herman are the most gracious hosts we have ever met on any trail. They have a vast knowledge of the region including the fauna and flora. They are always around to ensure that one is happy and all needs are being met. The meals supplied are also great value and there is always more than enough. Read more about this outing here.
