Latest Four Wheel Drive Club News...

Sun 02 Jun - Open Day - Tiger Wheel & Tyre
On a monthly basis, the Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern Africa has an Open Day at its property at Base 4 near Johannesburg. On Sunday there will be a presentation on tyre performance and selection as well as free battery testing. Click here for more on Open Days.
Fri 14 - Sun 23 Jun - Extended Outing to Khwai River, Okavango Delta, Botswana
I don’t believe I have to say much more about this part of the world other than it being one of the most sort after places to visit. As all the camps in the Botswana National Parks have been privatised and become expensive, we will spend our time at the community camp on the Khwai River which forms the Northern border the Moremi Game Reserve. The Khwai river area is undoubtedly the best game viewing area I have ever been to. One can simply sit in your vehicle near the river under a large tree and watch the animals and birds go about their daily lives. The trail can be done with “soft-roaders” if they have enough ground clearance and rear diff lock, many river crossings and thick sand being the only real challenges. Trailers and off-road caravans are also welcome. Duration: 10 Days / 3000km. Get more information on club events here.

About the Four Wheel Drive Club of Southern Africa

The 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.
