THE EXQUISITE CROCODILE GORGE AREA....
Here's your opportunity to have a geo get-together in this
pristine location, and experience the exceptional gorge hike, which
is difficult to do unless you're in a group, with backup
support.
Don't miss out!!
THE PLAN.....
The event is intended to suit both locals and visitors, and
consists of a social get-together and barbeque on Saturday evening,
and an optional guided hike down or up the gorge on Saturday
morning/afternoon.
THE VENUE.....
Crocodile Gorge Farm, 33 kms east of Nelspruit, about 4 hours from
Gauteng.
Take the N4 east from Nelspruit for 21 kms, turn right onto the
Mara road, sign in at the security boom, and continue for 12 kms to
the farm, which is on the left and clearly signposted.
Please adhere to the speed limit in the conservancy.
Fully equipped self catering chalets are available at R100 per
person per night, children under 12 are free.
Campsites are available at R50 per tent per night.
There is a swimming pool, bar, pool table and dartboard
available.
Please contact Malcolm malcolm@4x4bushadventures.co.za
or 082-9037420 (preferred) to arrange accommodation.
Alternatively, there are various accommodation options in nearby
Nelspruit.
THE FEAST.....
Barbeque fires will be provided, please bring your own food,
refreshments and deckchairs.
You are welcome to consume your own refreshments outdoors at the
barbeque, but should you wish to linger in the bar, then it will be
expected that you support the establishment.
THE GORGE HIKE.....
Saturday 11am for the "down" hike, or Saturday 9am for the "up"
hike.
The group outings start from the event venue, and we expect to be
back by 6pm.
For more info about the hike, see
this listing (need to be logged in to view)
The cost of the hike is R50pp, which goes to the landowner.
Those not doing the hike are welcome to relax at the event venue -
it is not necessary to do the hike to claim attendance of the
event.
The hike is not that difficult or strenous, but great care must be
taken to avoid even minor accidents because evacuation is so
difficult. If done carefully, safely, and slowly, you will enjoy a
pristine nature feast, and have some special memories to take back
with you.
