    If you want to visit a panzer museum, 1 SSB Bloemfontein is the place to go. You need a spot to layover 1 SSB can help. I stayed in the old NCO quarters (+-R200 p/p per night.) with only one draw back, no mess facilities for visitors. Fortunately there is a shopping centre within 2Km from the Base (Tempe). Check it out, try them.

    Truely a small jem of a museum inside a working unit. Only for those interested in Armour and the military. If there do not miss the individual unit exhibits, and the annual photograph books. I recommend that arrangements are made with the unit for a guide as no one is there normally. 1 SSB has a very distinguished history. School of Armour just up the road also has an impressive museum, and especially preserved examples of many tanks.

    Very interesting stories and history stored in 1 location. Makes for great Saturday afternoon visits just before a braai.

    Stayed over at T CLUB. ONE THING ABOUT THE ARMOUR FMN, THEY TAKE PRIDE IN THEIR UNITS. CLEAN and Regularly maintained.
