Slowveld Meander
The SLOWVELD is only 4 hours of comfortable and easy travelling away from Gauteng on the N4 Highway. Relax comfortably and let us take all the travel strain.
Why not gather a group of friends or family together and embark on a SLOWVELD meander while quietly taking in all the best kept secrets that only those “who know” will take their time to share with you. Besides which, it will save you a fortune in toll fees, fuel and believe it or not – meals and accommodation as well..especially during the SLOW season !
