Dankie vir almal wat Lentedag by ons

kom inloer het.

National Luna There is a definite change in the weather. Do you own a camping fridge? Time for a new one?

Originally designed to meet World Health Organisation specifications for transporting

medicines in harsh African conditions, National Luna fridges are now the preferred choice for

safari operators, caterers, mining companies, camper manufacturers and serious 4x4

enthusiasts.

National Luna refrigerators boast superior cooling power and exceptional efficiency in the

harshest environments. All models are tested and guaranteed to freeze to a minimum of -18 in

tropical conditions of 43 degrees celcius.

Bloedskenk by Safari 4x4

Maak ‘n bydrae tot die gemeenskap. Kom skenk bloed by Safari 4x4 op 6 Oktober tussen 09h00 en 11h00. Ons sal regstaan met ‘n lekker koppie koffie en ‘n koekie.

Tyre Test

Quite a few tyre manufacturers have asked to send a set of tyres for using and then sharing an

opinion. It can only be an opinion if there is no science. And it is not fair to the donor if I take

the tyres, use them and then only announce that it’s a nice tyre a few months later.

So... We received 6 sets of tyres. Fitted them to 6 identical bikes. And found 6 riders.

Nelus Bantjes, Stefan Boshoff, Roelof Schutte, John Harris, Sakkie Coetzer en Johan Jacobs took a 1500 km drive from Bloemfontein to Verneukpan and via the Central Karoo back.

How does MITAS and PIRELLI SCORPION RALLY and ANLAS CAPRAX

and METZELER KAROO 3 and CONTINENTAL TKC 80 compare?

The following were closly monitored of the 1500 km: Weight Before, Road Surface, Average

Speed, Tread depth, Pressure, Temp Outside, Temp Road, Handling, Stability, General Feel,

Weight After.

… and the results: A full report is available, please ask us for it.

Baie geluk Meneer Herman Rudd Namens Safari 4x4 wens ons u baie geluk met u verjaarsdag.

Ons bid u alle voorspoed en geluk toe.

Tyre Pressure Monitor System Keep tyres at proper inflation pressure for maximum performance and tread life at the price of a

tyre.

VALOR monitors the tyre’s condition independently. Its significant contribution is to Detect air loss / High temperature and Alert drivers before the condition becomes serious. Features: International patent pending ID module technology: Recalibration or reprogramming is not needed when you do the tire rotation or replace the sensor. Simple operation with just one button: The system is user-friendly. The driver does not bother to set up the parameters. All the functions can be operated with just one button. Real-time monitoring: The system will monitor the tire condition in real-time, no matter the vehicle is moving or resting. Clear display: With the big screen, four tires' pressures or temperatures can be shown on the display simultaneously. Light and flexible sensor: The transmitter's weight is merely 36g (1. 26oz. ) , which is easy balanced. The sensor-valve joint is flexible to match various rim profiles. Power saving system: Battery life is at least 5 years owing to its large capacity and power saving circuit. Slow leakage warming: This product is capable of monitoring the slow leakage as well as the situation of high or low pressure, high temperature and rapid leakage.

Did you know? 22 September was World Rhino Day

World Rhino Day is on September 22 and celebrates all five species of rhino: Black, white, greater one-horned, Sumatran and Javan rhinos. World Rhino Day was first announced by WWF-South Africa in 2010. The following year, World Rhino Day grew into an international success, encompassing both African and Asian rhino species, thanks to the efforts of two determined women … In mid-2011, Lisa Jane Campbell of Chishakwe Ranch in Zimbabwe was already planning ahead for World Rhino Day. She searched online for ideas and potential collaborators, and found Rhishja’s blog. Lisa Jane sent Rhishja an email, and the two found they shared a common goal of making World Rhino Day a day of celebration for all five species of rhino. In the months that followed, they worked together to make World Rhino Day 2011 an international success, both online and offline. World Rhino Day has since grown to become a global phenomenon, uniting NGOs, zoos, cause-related organizations, businesses, and concerned individuals from nearly every corner of the world!

Lowering Kit and Progressive Spring Kits

Height adjustment: Fit the bike you want instead of finding a bike you fit on!

An essential difference! Motorbikes are manufactured with the average user in mind. This would be suitable as long as you are the average user. However, if you are taller or smaller than the average user, you may recognize some of the following illustrated problems.

You will probably recognize… stopping at a slope… the trail in front of the traffic lights… will I be able to put my feet on the ground? Will I be able to keep the bike straight? The present feeling of no comfort and no trust in yourself and the bike. When riding the bike it’s all about confidence! This is the reason why Hyperpro started with the production of height adjustment kits.

HYPERPRO SPRINGS GIVE YOU

shorter braking distance

better balance of the bike

more comfortable riding, even with passenger

easier cornering

dramatically improved tire life

more grip in dry or wet weather

more confidence; it makes your ride more comfortable and/or faster

overall sense of confidence in the bike

4x4 and Bike Breakfast Run

Safari 4x4 maak

geskiedenis!

'n Baie unieke en geslaagde dag

toe 4x4 en motorfietse die natuur

en grondpaaie in die Vrystaat

gaan geniet. Baie dankie aan

almal wat dit so spesiaal gemaak

het. Dankie vir Johan Coetzee by

Uitspan Restaurant in

Reddersburg vir goeie diens en

lekker ontbyt.

Ons het ‘n sending-kerkie in Betanië besoek. In die geskiedenis van die Berlynse

Sendinggenootskap se werksaamhede in Suid-Afrika het die sendingstasie Bethanie ’n heel

besondere plek. Buiten dat dit die genootskap se oudste sendingstasie in Suid-Afrika is,

was Bethanie ook die middelpunt van die Duitse kultuurlewe in die eertydse Vrystaatse

Republiek. Die vroeër Berlynse sendelinge het ’n waardevolle inset gelewer tot die sosiale,

ekonomiese en godsdienstige lewe van die Boererepubliek, en name soos Wuras, Krause,

Fichardt, Winter en Radloff is verweef met die lotgevalle van die Vrystaatse Boere.

Hoe waardevol die Duitse bydrae tot die opbou van die Oranje-Vrystaat was, spreek

moontlik die duidelikste uit die hoë waardering wat toonaangewende Afrikaanse kultuur- en

kerkleiers soos dr. J.D. Kestell gedurende Bethanie se eeufeesviering in September 1934

jeens die Duitse pioniers uitgespreek het. Volgens Kestell was Bethanie en sy sendelinge

vir almal die toonbeeld van ’n ordelike en voortreflike sendinginstituut.

Louis het vir ons “Nunt Danken Allen Got” op die traporrel gespeel. Vir meer geskiedenis

van Betanië kan Louis by louis@safari4x4.co.za of 0514303831 gekontak word.
