The South African 4×4 & Outdoor Show Gauteng at Zwartkops Raceway on 7-8 September 2024

The South African 4×4 & Outdoor Show Gauteng has been holding its outdoor event for the past decade, marking its ten-year anniversary in the promotion of the 4×4 and outdoor industry in Centurion and Pretoria. Originally hosted at the iconic Voortrekker Monument starting in 2014, the event moved to the larger Zwartkops Raceway in 2016 to accommodate growing exhibitors and attendees.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, the show returned to the Voortrekker Monument in 2021 and 2022 due to lingering uncertainties and restrictions. This year, successful negotiations with Zwartkops Raceway have secured its return as the venue. As Martin Bailey from Telly-Fun-Quiz might say, "But wait…There’s more!"

The 2024 edition of the South African 4×4 & Outdoor Show will feature expanded outdoor sections to cater to a diverse audience, including families of all ages and backgrounds. Notably, a new leisure boating and marine watercraft section will debut this year, enhancing the event's appeal and offerings.

What Makes this Show so Special

Zwartkops Raceway

It is the only show of its kind in Africa where the general public can test the latest 4×4 & SUV vehicles on the famous Zwartkops tracks:

  • Test Drive Track: The public can test drive themselves or sit as a passenger on the Racetrack
  • Skidan: for the public to experience how to handle a 4×4 or SUV in wet conditions
  • RC Track: Come and use your remote control skills
  • Obstacle Course: Sit as a passenger and experience your capability
  • 4×4 Track: Test your skills and tackle steep inclines

This year’s event will boast a test drive track for new motor vehicles on display, a 4×4 track, skidpan, radio-controlled (RC) track, obstacle course, helicopter rides and a live military demonstration too by the SASFA (South African Special Forces Association). The South African Special Forces Association will also be doing the Recce Bash. The African Snake Bite Institute will also be on display as they will provide entertaining and live snake shows for adults and kids. Additionally, for the kids and children, there will be camel rides, simulators, fun rides and plenty of other activities too. This event also caters for many delicious food and drink vendors that accept card or cash payments. The beer garden is reserved for adults and children over the age of 18. Various popular live bands will also be performing throughout the event.

The South African Special Forces Association will test their skills with the Recce Bash, weather permitting, and will parachute from the skies. The Pro-Patria Museum will also be on display. The Parabats Veteran Organisation will also be on display. Military Collectors will also be at the show displaying their special uniforms and weapons.
