Probus Adventures
The Club has been undertaking 5-10 day trips to various parts of the Western and Northern Cape for many years. The trips typically consist of 15 to 24 members travelling together in own cars with transport shared. The trips are usually planned on an all-inclusive basis with all meals pre-booked and shared. Accommodation varies according to the places visited, from rustic to luxury - but always comfortable! The trips do not involve camping.
A feature of the Adventures is the talks given by participants each evening. See Adventure talks list below for a complete list.
Some of the past Adventures have been:
2024 West Coast and Namaqualand Meander, 15-22 September 2024, 1500km
2023 Karoos and mountains, 15 - 22 September 2023, 1200km
2022 Addo and Mountain Zebra National Parks, 14 - 23 August 2022, 2000km
2021 Three Parks and Spring flowers, 22 - 31 August 2021, 2200km
2020 Swartberg Mountains and Groot and Klein Karoo, 23-29 August 2020, 1000km
2019 West Coast Flower Season, 5 - 10 August 2019, 1000km (pictures wanted!)
However, these trips are not the only ones. From the History page:
"It was, however, through Probus trips to various corners of the country (wonderfully organized by Mike Veary and the late Peter Belonje) that we got to discover and enjoy many features of Southern Africa. In fact, those trips were probably a highlight of our time at Probus”.
So Adventures have been part of the Club's DNA since its earliest days.
Additional Mini-Adventures:
In addition to this main annual Adventure, many smaller informal excursions have been organised. These have included:
The Diversity Trail to Walker Bay in August 2023
Franschhoek Literary Festival 2024 and 2025
Red Cederberg August 2024
All are very popular and are often 'sold out' within days (or even hours) of being announced. So if you would like to be kept informed of opportunities like these, be sure to join the Tours and Travel WhatsApp group.
