	Three Provinces 4x4 Adventure Trail - 29-31 October 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.

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.
