Dink ons het omtrent R4k betaal vir 4 nagte, chalet vir 2. Daar is min challets, einde Januarie moes ek kies uit die laaste twee !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJuice Posted June 20, 2022 Share Thanks for the write-up Chris! Beautiful picture!!! Reflection of the race and hopefully some motivation for others to explore. ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die akkommodasie in die chalets is aan die duurkant, wat ek reken baie deelnemers beperk. Daar is groot groep wat kamp! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampeer is sekerlik heelwat goedkoper ... vir die wat hul kamp goed het. Tog is al die chalets vroeg uitgeboek. Vir die wat n "kamer" soek teen n beter tarrief is daar heelwat opsies net buite die park. En daar was sekerlik baie voertuie wat elke aand uit die kamp gery het.

figjam_sa Posted June 20, 2022 Share Selfs die kamp pryse word nie aangedui nie. Sal dan seker moet navrae doen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sal dan seker moet navrae doen Toe navraag gedoen het, het ek dir SANS Parke tariewe ontvang. Met dien verstande dat die finale pryse nog aangedui sou word. Daar was n groep afslag, en ons het uiteindelik minder betaal as die SANS Parke tariewe. Dit word eers laat gefinaliseer .... Die SANS parke tariewe is sekerlik naby genoeg vir begrooting .... die petrol prys verskil was sekerlik meer ... 🤦♂️ EDIT - Looking at the 2022 rates for chalets, it range from R 4 700 for 2 up to R 10 880 for a family unit for 6 people.

Vlugte na Upington is net onbekostigbaar en enige groot metropool is 850km weg, eintlik “lekker” sentraal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinmug Posted June 21, 2022 Share SAN Parks and CapeNature facilities are expensive (unfortunately). They have to be ... the big financial input from government is long-gone and Land Cruisers are expensive. Smile, wave, pay and enjoy the fact that these nature reserves still exist. 👍 Thanks for the comprehensive write-up Chris ... I (now) have my eye on this one.

Vlugte na Upington is net onbekostigbaar en enige groot metropool is 850km weg, eintlik “lekker” sentraal. Dink dis vroeer genoem maar daar is redelik baie akkomodasie opsies in die nabye omgewing? Maar ja, events soos hierdie is 'n luxury in vandag se ekonomiese tye. Die jaar wat ek dit gedoen het, het ons as gesin gekamp & self gebraai vir etes + die event ingewerk in 'n langer vakansie om die ry finansieel die moeite werd te maak. Definitief 'n memorable event vir my gewees, sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel wat bietjie iets anders wil doen as S2C of W2W.

Wat se gras .... 🤪🤣 Just outside Springbok all the way through the grass is standing tall. What a lovely sight. Last time most of that stretch had red sand as far as you could see. tinmug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted June 22, 2022 Share Can confirm that Vanrynsdorp is having GOOD rain this year. Promising to be a very good season for the flowers. DJuice and Scary Rider 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upington had 55mm the last two days with more to come on Friday. Some places in the Kalahari over 100. Received feedback from Brandvlei and Pofadder with rainfall. Agree should be good for the flower season. First time a early morning run was canned due to rain for consecutive days in Upington.

We stayed over at Maskam guest farm on Monday 13 June, just oitside Vanrhynsdorp. Tuesday morning the dry river bed looked like this .... By Wednesday morning the gravel road back to the N7 was full of water sections. Coming back on Sunday we saw many of these water puddles along the dirt road. We were very lucky with the Trans Augrabies. Normal cool starts. Hardly any wind. Very nice day temperatures. And as we drove out on Sunday we saw the cold front moving in between Springbok and Aggenys. tinmug 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
