CANCELLED - 2020 Northern KZN Camping Trip
Posted: Wed Dec 18, 2019 3:30 pm
What? Northern KZN Camping Trip
Where? Utshwayelo Kosi Mouth Lodge & Camp, exactly 638km from Lonehill in, you guessed it, Northern KZN. See map below and refer to https://kosibay.info/ for more details of the venue and surrounds. When? 26 April 2020 – 01 May 2020 (5 nights in total). We will arrive on Sunday 26/04 and drive back on Friday 01/05. This gives the Landy drivers time to get there and back over multiple days and time to pack and unpack.
Why? Because many of us have never been to this part of Southern Africa before, and it’s close to Moz
Who? All paid up club members and their families
What’s the plan?
- The club will group-book the camping sites for 10 vehicles (LIMITED) (Increased to 15 max in January 2020) and then we will camp here as a base and do day trips around the area (more details to follow).
- You HAVE to commit to the full 5 days, we will only accept the full payment, no part payments and staggered dates. If you want to add extra days, you will still pay to the club for the full 5 days and settle the rest directly with the venue.
- There is other accommodation available but if you intend using it please deal directly with the venue, the club will not be managing chalet bookings at all.
