EVENTS: NEW YEARS TRIP 2011 – 2012

What is “BUSH BASH” …… ?
Every year, we throw a New Years Bush Bash to celebrate the year that has passed and to welcome the new year.

Can you imagine a more idyllic setting than the Orange River to do so. Combined with some physical activity (4 days of River Rafting) – culminating with a party back at base camp – Fiddlers Creek.

Throw in a Spit Braai – some amazing people – warm2hot weather – and top it with 2 Bands (Blackstoneradio & AlterEgo) and DJ vibing the tunes – you have yourself a winner of a party.

We have been doing this for the last 10 years plus and every Bash has been a
party to remember.
