    This beach (Dappat se Gat, located at Kogels Bay resort) has been our family holiday destination for generations. Grandparents took my dad and his siblings camping there when they were young. My dad, mom and aunts and uncles took us kids camping there from as young as 6 month old babies. My husband and I have taken our daughter camping there too. It's still as beautiful as ever, thank you for the reminder of all the wonderful family memories.

    We surfed dappat se gat for years. Used to be a secret place. Not anymore. Packed over weekends. Also watch out, troop of baboons get very aggressive, and chase people and steal their stuff. Best to go during the week nowadays.

    Many years ago we went to Mapelane, just south of St Lucia, North Coast ,South Africa, there is this beautiful blue lagoon (just after the movie "blue Lagoon " showed), so us kids all had a nice swim and jol. Only after we heard this lagoon is riddled with crocs. I think they were all intimidated by the bomb dives and noise.

    Really enjoyed your enthusiasm and drive. They truly are beautiful places with spectacular scenery and adventure filled journeys. I'm about to embark on a life changing adventure myself. Selling my home and purchasing an expedition/overland truck of epic proportions. The idea is to visit as much of our beautiful country, completely off grid, in relative comfort as I can before I can't climb into the cab. I could have a new sunrise or sunset each day, but I plan to savour some of them for a while. The campsites you visited are very cool, but I plan to wild camp too. Just a side note ... and I may have misheard, but the isn't an "N" in "restaurateur". I know you meant well and I'm no spelling or grammar nazi. I can't spell to save my life - I was corrected years ago and it has stuck with me. May you have many a safe journey with spectacular destinations ahead. Cheers - Clive.

    This is my back yard, we go there often and it is beautiful. When I first saw the title of the video I was annoyed that you want to show this "secret" place to the whole world which makes it's special "secrecy" null and void. But when I saw which place you are talking about it is actually not that secret, well I suppose not to the locals. You can drive past that spot anytime on a weekend and you will not be able to find parking there. My favourite thing to do there is stand underneath the small waterfall and cool down. Enjoy!

    • @africaunexpected
