Wild Camping on the Wild Coast - South Africa
My experience of the Eastern Cape is that it is largely underrated and unexplored by holiday-makers. My hope is that this video will expose some of the beauty at my doorstep and that it would encourage tourists in South Africa, both local and international, to venture beyond Table Mountain.
Disclaimer: Any waste or dirty dishes and utensils were taken home afterwards as I live 10 minutes away from this gorgeous spot. We did not make use of any soaps or detergents while bathing.

Life off the Grid in South Africa - A Homestay Tiny House
มุมมอง 44K6 ปีที่แล้ว
Welcome to my home! Originally from Cape Town, I have been living in the Eastern Cape for the past three years; two of which have been in the rural former Transkei region and one of which have been in this beautiful 'off-the-grid' homestay. The experience of living in this 'rondavel' will continue to positively shape the way I choose to live for many years to come.
Life off the Grid in South Africa

A family of five live the simple life along the magnificent Wild Coast of South Africa. Located in the rural area of Cebe, they venture on roads less travelled and rely on rain and sunshine for water and power. For booking enquiries email wildwildcoast@gmail.com or look them up on Air B'nB.

    hey such a cool story, btw just so you know if you still have pump problems you can solve this quite easily also if you have compost toilet you could potentially be producing biogas and turn given hot water. I also have idea how to build off grid washing machine using a bicycle so you exercise while you was :D

    Hi Sara. I grew up in a rural farm in the 60's. We didn't have electricity and water. We used rain water, had a coal stove. Mum planted veg. My granddad planted mealies and took to the market. We ate fresh straight from the farm. Dried mealies was taken to the mill to be ground. We used the cobs as fuel. Life was beautiful and freedom was heavenly. Dad worked at the dairy so we had fresh milk and butter as a ration. Wow what a life. Now I wouldn't dare to live like that. Definitely not in South Africa. Living in the city is scary, what would happen in rural area. Thank you. Wish you happiness and safety. Love from Durban, South Africa.

      Hi! Unfortunately I am not the brains behind the solar system featured in this video. However, you could look up Heartwood Homestead based outside East London in the Eastern Cape as they set up this whole system including the compost toilet, rainwater and solar geyser. Good luck!

    Hi there I'm a South African and I'm really consediring living off the grid i live in Pretoria, Gauteng. And i live in the moot. I am sick and tired of LoadShedding and everything is getting more and more expensive and i feel trapped. I just want to live somewhere where there's more nature rather than the city. I'm only 19 years old and I'm still jobless but i love doing things like photography and art. Although my parents look after me. I'm just not meant for city life. Hopefully someday i'll be able to follow my dreams 💚
