Get ready for an exhilarating adventure with the Wanaka Lions and Alpine Auto Centre 4WD Safari! Since 2018, this annual event has been a hit, offering an unforgettable one-day trip through some of the most stunning landscapes in the region.This year's safari kicks off on Saturday, January 4th, 2025, starting from Lowburn Station near Cromwell. Participants will navigate farm tracks up to the Pisa Range, traverse the Pisa Conservation Area, and finally, unwind in the picturesque Cardrona Valley. The journey promises breathtaking views, from the lowlands at 200m above sea level to the summit of Mt Pisa at 1963m.
Expect a thrilling ride with steep hill climbs, descents, and varied terrain, including grass, clay, and rocky sections. The Grade 2 52 km trip, 6-hour trip, includes a lunch stop and ample opportunities for stunning photos. We end the trip at the Scurrs Woolshed in Cardrona Valley and celebrate with a famous Lions Club BBQ.
All proceeds benefit Wanaka Search and Rescue, a dedicated team of volunteers who provide essential response and rescue services in the Mt Aspiring National Park and Wanaka lakes area.
Due to the delicate ecosystems and private lands we traverse, vehicle numbers are limited. Groups will assemble at the Lowburn Community Hall, with Group 1 meeting at 9am and Group 2 at 10:15am. Don't miss this chance to support the Wanaka Lions Club and experience a unique 4WD adventure!
