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.

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 kept informed of opportunities like these, be sure to join the Tours and Travel WhatsApp group.
