This popular event helps the NSRI to raise much needed funds as they are entirely dependent on public funding.
The NSRI Melkbosstrand 4x4 Adventure Day is a unique event because it’s the only time that members of the public are able to tour the reserve in their 4x4 vehicles. The 4x4 tour takes you on a four hour drive that takes in some of the most breathtaking views of the coast and Table Mountain. This is a very popular event with around 150 vehicles partaking.
All proceeds of this very popular event go toward meeting the operational cost the NSRI Rescue Station in Melkbosstrand. This rescue station is particularly busy during the summer months and helps to ensure that both locals and visitors alike have a safe holiday season. NSRI volunteers are not remunerated for the services they provide and sacrifice a huge amount of their personal time and comfort in order to provide a service to the community.
The Melkbosstrand NSRI Rescue Station is particularly close to GICS's heart as it has helped out a member of the GICS Team on more than one occasion in the past. All proceeds generated by GICS on the day are to be donated to the NSRI Rescue Station in Melkbosstrand.
For more info on donating to the NSRI, call Laura du Preez on 021 434 4011 or email laurad@searescue.org.za.
