Comment on Hand Me Down, August Redistribution at Maliba Mountain Lodge by SA Adventure

SA Adventure — Tue, 02 Oct 2012 05:57:43 +0000

Hi Nthabiseng,

Thank you for your interest, we truly believe in the initiative and are always happy to have people on board.

We have 2 means of gathering Hand me Downs:
1) Collection stations – where people can drop off their Hand me Downs, drop them in the box and once the box is full, we collect the items
(we provide these collection stations)
2) Collection volunteers – where we collect Hand me Downs from somewhere within the local area.
Where are you based?

Once received, we repack all Hand me Downs according to age and gender and have them ready for redistribution.
We always need help doing this! Many hands make light work.

We also do 4 redistributions per year. Where for 2012 we have been supporting a community in Lesotho.
Each redistribution is normally confirmed a month in advance.

I have added your name to our distribution list so that you can receive all future communication.

To see what we are up to, please follow us on Facebook:

Please let us know if you need more detail.

Comment on Land Rover Defender, is this the end of a legend? by Werner Plore Human

There will never be a replacement for the iconic Defender, but the DC 100 will probably be a very decent off-road motorcar…just as most other 4×4′s on the market. Long live The Defender!

NO.

This looks like a rugged D4 or Freelander but NOT a replacement for the Defender.
This looks welcome in Sandton not where there is no road to follow.

To be quite honest I like the look of the DC100 and think it will do very well in its own class. I am in the hospitality industry and have been for 11 years. The Defender 110 and 130 are my vehicles of choice. My concern is what will we replace these vehicles with which provide the most comfortable ride, yes we can still use Toyota and is for sure a reliable work horse but as far as comfort is concerned cannot compare to the ride of our legendary defender. We load these vehicles with 10 guests at the most.. that’s a huge load considering the average human weighs in at 65-75 kg’s. and then we still bash about in the bush.. off road is where our animals sleep and in order for us to view them we need a strong, stable and capable vehicle. this to me is the defender.. the DC100 may very well be adapted for a roof rack, diff guards bull bars and winches but i most certainly do not see any one converting it into a game viewer.. taking an angle grinder to a Toyota land cruiser is harsh enough, taking an angle grinder to DC100 well i will leave it at that..

Comment on SA Adventure’s New Seat Covers by Jackal Berry Canvas by SA Adventure

SA Adventure — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:06:20 +0000

So a little feedback on our Jackal Berry seat covers! They have at this point done nearly 60000kms in some of the most trying terrain in Africa! The covers have not even broken a sweat yet! They are still completely intact and show no signs of wear what so ever! They are still waterproof and don’t make you ‘sweat’ at all! We are confident they will be good for another 60000kms! We will keep you posted!
