Fly-away to Clarens end January

We're planning a fly-away to the Clarens / Golden Gate area of South Africa from the 24th - 26th January weekend which should be fun.

The stunning scenery around Clarens

The destination is the Shumba Valley Farm near Clarens which is one of South Africa's treasured places to visit: incredible mountains and scenery and a quaint town that has become a place that artists have made their home!

Details of the destination are on the Avcom website at this link.

To get there from Durban we need to fly around Lesotho and the deadly Drakensberg/Maluti mountains to the Free State Province and the airfield/lodge is situated in the eastern Free State.

Here's what the route looks like from Durban. It's an easy two hour flight from the coast and the mountain scenery I have only passed by car is breathtaking. This should be a fun event and whet out appetite for our bigger mid-March trip to the Botswana Okavango Delta and to Zimbabwe to see the Victoria Falls.

If you want to join us on the Clarens fly-away, click on the link to the Shumba Valley Farm and book your accommodation direct with Bob. Let me know as well so we can maybe co-ordinate departures.. slingfans@gmail.com - all aircraft types welcome. Dave 083-7033329

 There is also an EasyPlan route file downloadable off our Facebook group. The lodge owner is also willing to take us into nearby Clarens and this could be perfect for Saturday morning shopping, restaurants or even white river rafting, although some scenic flights around the area would also be great.
