The Knysna forests conjure images from Dalene Matthee's well-read stories, phantom elephants, Italian settlers and lost travellers.  Bhejane 4X4 Adventures have recently obtained permission to explore this forest realm of giant yellowwoods and ancient lichens.  This highly protected ecosystem, that holds many secrets, has been off-limits to anybody, other than those prepared to tackle the forest paths on foot or by mountain bike.  We invite you to join us on a professionally guided 4X4 self-drive exploration of the Knysna forests to unlock some of the forest's best kept secrets.

Bhejane Adventures offers a number of exciting day trips and overnight trips for the keen Angler, from fly fishing salt water clinics, exclusive freshwater rivers to deep sea charters.

These  are all fully guided and within the Garden Route, so if you're visiting the Southern Cape and want to fish - look no further.

Join us on "The Highwayman's Adventure Route" on deep sandy tracks through the vast expanse of Southern Africa’s largest conservation area. The Central Kalahari Park is the largest in Southern Africa, twice the size of the Kruger National Park, it boasts a number of unique endemic species of fauna and flora.

Staring at Khama Rhino Sanctuary, we wind our way south, camping "rough" in the bush, to where the adventure ends in Nossop.

Towards the end of summer, presuming reasonable rains have fallen in the area, the Kgalagadi is noted for its large number of resident eagles, such as the Martial, Tawny, Black Breasted, Snake and Bateleur. These are joined in February and March by the migrant raptors, the Booted Eagle and Steppe Buzzard, and the rare Lesser Spotted Eagle. We hope to be there when the numbers of eagles will be at their highest. However, we must not forget all the other wildlife we expect to see in the harsh but magnificent Kgalagadi Trans-frontier.

It is known by many names - Eastern Cape, Frontier Country, The Wild Coast and Paradise.  But, there are very few other places in Southern Africa were there is so much beauty, contrast, history and sheer ruggedness than the Southern Drakensberg and the adjoining Transkei Coast.

Within a mere distance of 180km by road, the traveler can drop from snow-topped mountain peaks at a height of 2 700m above sea level to a tropical coastline rivaled only by that found in Mozambique.

Follow the contrast from the vast sand flats of the Makgadigadi Pans, to the papyrus lined canals of the Okavango Delta and experience the magnificent Chobe National Park on a game drive in an open safari vehicle and a boat cruise on the Chobe River.

Join us to discover the marvels of this geological intrigue as we travel from Kubu Island on into the Caprivi Strip via the mysterious Tsodilo Hills, eastwards along the Chobe River and on to the mighty Zambesi at the Victoria Falls.

Our route takes from the Valley Bushveld of the Easten Cape to the dry desolate Great Karoo via an echanted valley not known to many that boasts animals such as Black Rhino and Buffaloe.

The Baviaanskloof Wilderness Area comprises of approximately 270 000 ha. of unspoiled, rugged mountainous terrain. Starting from Willowmore in the West, the road leads through the rugged beauty of the "Grootrivier" Gorge on its winding path through this pristine conservancy, all the way towards Kodomo in the East. A total distance of about 203 km. The area offers a wide range of eco-recreational opportunities as well as a unique wilderness experience!

We then move onto "The Hell" that got its name for its remoteness.

Take this opportunity to drive and walk in South Africa's oldest game reserve, and royal hunting ground of Shaka Zulu. Frank and one of his former Zulu colleagues will enhance this experience and share anecdotes of rhino protection, game capture and Zulu history.

Accessible to only 4X4's, Maputaland's sand tracks meander past fresh-water inland lakes, under tropical tree canopies and to beaches lined with coral reefs.

Starting in the magnificent Kruger Park, we travel east into the lush lowlands of Mozambique, we cross the mighty Limpopo and on to the coastal flood plains.

In chalets almost on the beach, near the town of Ihhassoro, overlooking Bazaruto Island, we can experience the true feeling of this tropical paradise.

Having obtained permits to do so, we explore the tropical beaches, discovering the wonders of the coral lined coast, and with luck, we may encounter the elusive dugong.

Counted among Southern Africa's wildest areas are Moremi, Chobe and Savuti. These magnificent parks in Botswana are world renowned for their wide diversity of both fauna and flora and to spend time there is an experience of a lifetime.

The best way to do this is in the comfort your own vehicle and camping in the primitive but interesting campsites.

To enhance this "Wild-African" experience, the number of clients on this tour is limited to twelve persons only.

After the brief summer rains have come and gone the Etosha becomes a great, dry ghostly place, with mirages shimmering over its vast 130 x 50 kilometre expanse. The verges of the lake are however, well treed and grassed, with several springs providing water for the numerous animals and birds which live permanently around the pan.

A visit to Etosha and the Skeleton Coast is a never to be forgotten experience for the connoisseur of scenery, atmosphere and the unusual that only the "dorsland" of the Kalahari and the Namib can offer.

South Africa's premier game reserve KNP has in recent years become extensively larger as its boundaries shift into transfrontier parks and conservation areas in the form of conservancies . 

Three of these areas are exclusive due to their 4x4 access only. The Makuya area in the northwest, the Letaba Ranch area in the central west and the Manyaletie area bordering the Sabi Sands .  We spend two nights in each area, in private camps with bush lodge accommodation that only sleep ten people.

This is a private safari with all the perks of luxury bush lodge accommodation, high-tech game viewing, guided drives and walks, at a very competitive rate.

Once a year around the month of October, the northern canals of Botswana's Okavango Delta begin to bubble and boil with activity. The feeding frenzy starts as the water level of the mighty Okavango River starts to drop, which brings small fish from adjacent flood plains into the River system.

This in turn draws millions of barbell that go after the smaller fish, which subsequently attracts birds, crocodiles and Africa's most vicious fresh water predatory fish - The Tiger. Come and join us for five days of 'catch and release' Tiger fishing in these beautiful surroundings.
