Geocaching organisations in South Africa

[+GlobalRat]

This topic is to let you know about the regional geocaching organisations near you. These groups sponsor event caches and online forums where geocachers in the same area can get to know each other and share information. Geocaching organisations play a pivotal role in maintaining good relations with the land managers for the parks, reserves and forests where we play our game. Getting involved in your local group is a great way to make new friends and find answers to questions about the local caching scene.

 

It is up to representatives of the organisations to maintain this thread as a list of links to the Geocaching Groups in South Africa. Please feel free to write a brief post about your geocaching group, giving its name, the area where most of its members live, and a link to the group's website, forums or mailing list. If your information changes later on, post a follow-up post.

 

Please do not use this pinned topic to promote individual events or initiatives that your group is undertaking. You can start separate topics for those. The moderating team may split out off topic posts into their own threads.

 

Please use This Referenced Thread for the discussion of Geocaching Organisations.

 

Finally, please note that this thread is not an endorsement by Groundspeak of any organisation. It's just a convenient list of links.

 

Thanks.

CrystalFairy's South African Geocaching Statistics page also deserves a mention.

GoSA (Geocachers of South Africa) was officially established yesterday

[+MadSons]

Visit www.geocachingsa.com for easy access to all the various South African geocaching websites, stats, facebook and other links. You can also vote for the logo to be used for the first South Africa Mega Event, but you have to register (free of charge) as a member to do that.

 

The website also hosts all the information about the Mega. Kindly add your name to the event, to assist us to confirm the numbers of attendees.

 

Happy caching

Hello I've posted a topic on the geocaching forum about South Africans willing to help a bunch of cachers with a road trip from Knysna to Durban.
