The name Dryland and its associated logo depicting a windmill was derived from the arid dry Karoo region where Carel, Bernard and Henco spent their childhood years, and eventually where Dryland was founded. Their passion for their business and their country is evident in the world class events that they host. Dryland is without doubt South Africa’s premier event management outfit and anyone that has taken part in any of their events can report on their warm hospitality, professional manner and passion for their events, their customers and the sport..
