Early the following day we departed to Gecko Rock Nature Reserve ( https://www.touwsrivertourism.co.za/stay/69-geckrock-private-nature-reserve ).
After receiving a warm welcome from the Deal family, owners of Gecko Rock Nature Reserve, Mr. Jonathan Deal explained to us when Gecko Rock Nature Reserve was established and their vision going forward.
He is also the author of "Timeless Karoo" and his passion and love for the Karoo is seen through his book. We sat down for a hearty breakfast with the Deal family, making for good conversation and stories.

Media Educational 2024
Thanks to funding we received from Cape Winelands District Municipality we hosted a Media Educational on 17 & 18 April 2024.
We met up at Kroonplaas Restaurant with two Cape Winelands District Municipality officials ( https://capewinelands.gov.za/), Funmammasa ( https://funmammasa.co.za/) and Andre from Social Media Cape Town (https://socialmediacapetown.wordpress.com/) from the Media.
After a delicious "roosterkoek" and "moerkoffie" breakfast at Kroonplaas Restaurant (https://www.touwsrivertourism.co.za/eat/67-komkyk-restaurant), we departed for Drie Kuilen Nature Reserve ( https://www.driekuilen.co.za/ ).
Lina, Stefan and Lena greeted us and made us feel truly welcomed. We had some time available before the game drive and took our time to book in at the various accommodation available to us. Our accommodation for the night left us speechless. Every appliance you might need is there, even a dishwasher! Have a look: https://www.touwsrivertourism.co.za/stay/70-drie-kuile-nature-reserve
At two o'clock we went with the team from Drie Kuilen on an epic game drive. We had the priviledge to be the first people for a game drive in their new game drive vehicle. Wow! So much comfort, making the views even more spectacular. Vegetation combined with animals made it so much more memorable. However, to me the most spectacular things were the huge rock formations high up in the mountain. I've never seen such pretty rocks! Truly unique and unforgettable... An excursion on its own. We had a lovely picnic at the top, roaming around between these beautiful rocks.

Congratulations to the "Potjiekos" Competition - 2023 Winners!
Saturday morning, 7 October, started off rainy and windy. Luckily that did not discourage the competitors from pitching up. Around 8 o'clock the sun came out and fires were lit. Lots of laughter and "gees" as they prepared their masterpieces.
A huge thank you to all the Sponsors for the fantastic prize giveaways and the Judges who came all the way from Ceres.

27 September 2023 the Touwsrivier Community celebrated Mrs. Magret Maritz's 117th Birthday.
In a convoy following a SAPS vehicle, Mrs. Maritz waved like royalty to the community. "Trompoppies" followed the beat of loud music coming from a car.
Aquila Private Game Reserve donated the beautiful cake. Other donors also contributed, resulting in a delicious lunch lovingly prepared in the "AGS Tehuis vir Bejaardes" kitchen.
Making Mrs. Maritz's birthday milestone even more special.
The Touwsrivier Community is truly blessed to have her spend her golden years with us.
