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 off-road trail driving, discover interesting history, scenery and have other fun adventures together. The location changes each year to provide a greater 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 20 Syncro Safari adventures in ELEVEN states and Mexico! NEWS: Syncro SafariTM, Sedona - NOT!
July 4 - July 10, 2021 has been CANCELLED due to regional fires causing closure of the Coconino, Prescott, Kaibab, and Tonto National Forests. A new event, "Montezuma '21", has been created and we'll be enjoying southeast Utah instead. Camp Syncro will be located in Montezuma Canyon, east of Blanding Utah. The 2021 Syncro SafariTM adventure will take place in northern Arizona near Sedona and wil feature red rock canyons and beautiful mountaintop views. July 4th - 10th.
Camp Syncro will be at the Chavez Crossing group campsite just south of Sedona. We plan to enjoy 3 days of 4WD routes, plus other recreation including seeing some really beautiful and unusual geologic features including red rock cliffs and volcano craters! |

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 might 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.
