What is Syncro SafariTM?
A Syncro SafariTM adventure is a gathering of Syncronauts (owners of all-wheel-drive, Vanagon Syncros) from near and far to get to know fellow Syncronauts, do some 4x4 trail driving, discover interesting history, scenery and have other fun adventures together. The location changes each year to provide a great variety of both scenery and Syncronauts. We visit peaks, passes, lakes, views, cliffs, ghost-towns, ruins, historic sites and much more. So far, we’ve had 23 Syncro Safari adventures in ELEVEN states and Mexico! NEWS: Syncro Safari, Mammoth '25!
Syncro Safari will be in the Eastern Sierra this year. September 14 - 21, 2025 in and around Mammoth Mountain and Mammoth Lakes! More info HERE! Registration will open on
Sunday, May 18th at 6:00PM Pacific Time |

Old "news": Syncro SafariTM, Lassen '23
The 2023 Syncro SafariTM adventure was in northern California in and around Mt. Lassen Volcanic National Park. Camp Syncro was at the beautiful Butte Lake on the eastern side of the park. We enjoyed 3 days of scenic routes, plus other recreation including kayaking, hiking, swimming, and sight seeing!

At Syncro SafariTM adventures we do mild to moderate 4-wheeling in a family friendly environment. We emphasize adventure, 4-wheeling, and camaraderie at the event. In addition to Syncro-centric activities, our trips have also include many other aspects like river rafting, wildlife viewing, educational sessions, and we've even participated in a parade and experienced a demonstration of Navajo Pow Wow dancing! Since the event is a week long, we get a chance to get to know each other and often form lasting friendships during our adventures. We travel together, camp together, eat together, and share stories and maybe even some songs around the campfire at night. Although each Syncro SafariTM is unique, in a typical Syncro SafariTM week we arrive on Sunday, then do four-wheeling on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. This leaves a couple days open for other individual or group activities of each participant’s choice. Saturday, we head home. We travel only on legally established 4x4 trails and never go “cross country”, so as to protect the environment we’re enjoying. The pace of a four-wheeling day is fairly relaxed with time for breaks and a lunch, before going back to camp.
