MC 4x4 Trail - OPEN !







I've got great news: Monte Christo's 4x4 trail is OPEN!!!

I quote Coenie from "CEDERBERG 4X4":

Its a well planned route through blue gum plantations, rocky riverbed crossings, to the scenic mountain section with spectacular views, will ensure enough driving activities to satisfy driver's needs as well as that of passengers.

The photographers will have enough time to shoot that special action photo of a fellow participant on the route or a panoramic shot overlooking one of our mayor dams in the Western Cape, the Piketberg mountains, Riebeek Kasteel mountains, the green snake of a Bergrivier, Oom Paul-se-Berg and even Table mountain on a clear day.



For Reservation: e-mail Anso at: mcfamilyresort@gmail.com

Gaynor is the one to contact if you want information on any paragliding, she's a great person and I've worked with her for a few years now. I can strongly suggest using her.

Great weather!!!



We could not asked for better weather, we are blessed in Porterville.

A whole weekend of sunshine and warm days, birds in the trees and listening to the calming stream that runs trough the campsite. What more do you want?

Thanx Dr George!!!

One of the sheep had trouble giving birth to her young. We had to help.



She's in trouble, but its not that easy to catch her...


One of the workers managed to catch her and "Dr George" had to pull the lamb out.


He almost did not make it.
We'll keep an eye on them to see if they make it trough the night.
