Camping at Die Mond, Tankwa Karoo
We spent a few days camping at Die Mond in the Tankwa Karoo. This place is special and it never disappoints. Definitely a bucket-list destination.

During the holidays, we had the chance to get away, so we went camping at the West Coast at an undisclosed location.
Camping in the Cederberg: Kagga Kamma Nature Reserve
มุมมอง 4.1K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
We took a camping trip to Kagga Kamma Nature reserve in the Cederberg. We decided to share our experience and do a campsite review for campers that haven’t had the privilege to visit. We went hiking on both the scenic 7km and 4km routes and show you some of the rock-art and scenery that you can expect. #camping #gravelroads #offroad #offroadadventure #tankwakaroo #wildcamping #westerncape #offr...
Camping at Moed Farm, Tankwa Karoo - Calvinia Vleisfees Detour
มุมมอง 13K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
Before we went to Moed Farm in the Tankwa Karoo to spend a few nights camping, we took a detour to visit the annual Calvinia Festival (Calvinia Vleisfees) to see what it had to offer. On arrival at Moed Farm, we were pleasantly surprised by the effort that the owners have put into the building of the new ablution facilities in such an isolated area. This place is a real gem. Whether you prefer ...
Road Trip - March 2023 (Seweweekspoort; Swartberg Pass; Gamkaskloof; The Hell; Kruisrivier Camsite
มุมมอง 68510 หลายเดือนก่อน
Our trip in March 2023 took us along the Seweweekspoort to Calitzdorp. We took the R62 gravel road to the Swartberg Pass where we witnessed some breath-taking scenery in the Gamkaskloof on our way to The Hell. We spent one night in the Gamkaskloof and made our way back via the R62 and came across the Kruisrivier Guest Farm. This was a pleasant surprize as this campsite offered amazing views, cl...
Noah Farm Campsite - Wolseley
มุมมอง 665ปีที่แล้ว
We spent a few days at Noah Farm Campsite between Wolseley and Tulbach. The farm is situated against the Witzenberg mountain range and offer four very well-maintained camping spots with stunning kitchen and bathroom facilities. The campsites is off-grid and offer hiking and mountain-bike trails. Definitely worth the visit. #noahfarmcampsite #livingthecampinglife #campinglife #campinginthewester...
Camping Weekend - Sanddrif, Cederberg
มุมมอง 3.4Kปีที่แล้ว
Dirt roads, sun and water. What more can you ask for on a weekend away? Sanddrif is a pristine campsite, a short drive away from the Cederberg Wine Farm that sells excellent wines and offer an exceptional wine tasting experience. The campsite is brilliantly maintained, the ablution facilities well kept, neat and modern and we will definitely be back. The swimming area "Die Maalgat", is a 15 min...

You can order custom leather pillows by contacting me on either: Instagram: @origin_leathercraft Facebook: originleathercraft
Road Trip - Northern Cape & Tankwa Karoo - Jacobsbaai, Die Mond, Augrabies, Khamkirri
มุมมอง 2.3Kปีที่แล้ว
Jacobsbaai, Gannabos, Die Mond and Kagga Kamma. That was the plan. But the weather turned and it was to rain in the Tankwa over the weekend. I know camping in the rain in a Rooftop Tent is “super fun”, but we decided to dodge the rain so Kagga Kamma was cancelled. We changed our plans on the spot, looked for sunnier pastures and drove criss-cross as if diesel was still cheap. We made the most o...

If I could, I would follow you camping. Nice video.
Is that ground water? Or where does river come from ?
Not sure about the origin of the river, but it makes part (or joins) to the greater Doring river system if I’m not mistaken
Magical! And really great camera work...framing, composition, editing..and music!...a pleasure to experience this gorgeous place this way. En daai Steaks!!!!
Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Enjoy daai steaks was baie lekker
Looks amazing!
Hi Oom is daar n manier wat ek kan kontak maak vir meer tegniese inligting?
Hi Ruan. As ek kan help sal ek. Jy kan my DM.
Soentoe wil en gaan ons dankie vir deel
Climate changes often over long periods of time but mostly likely there has been quite a bit of change relatively recently as massive herds of hundreds of thousands grazing animals were reported in the hinterland. That amout of biomass being put into the soil would have created great conditions for plants to grow, plants change the local weather believe it or not so you can see how SA was much less barren before as it is now
Try fishing next time!!😊
That's the plan!
Have camped in the Tankwa several years ago. Agree about the desolate beauty. Have also camped in central and west Australia, which exceeds Tankwa in its remote vastness and beauty by a factor of about a million!
I can surely imagine. Must be beautiful there. That’s one for my bucket list
His legs look great in those black short pants. Lucky woman to have him!!
Don't want to be in the bushes🙄 Walk on rock as I'm scared of snakes🙄🤔🙄 En net daar skuif ek aan na n ander YTer... Ai tog...
Ook op ons bucket lys dis droog dis hard maar mooi dankie vir deel
Dankie vir jou video's, die maak mens plekke beter verstaan! Met n klein 6 jarige is dit altryd goed om te weet wat daar is om te doen ...
Thanks for sharing this . We will be there next month for the first time 👏👏
Only a pleasure.
Regtig mooi daar dankie vir deel
What time of the year is Vleis festival held??
The Kalvinia Vleis Fees is usually held the last weekend in August. Just a warning though… it’s still VERY cold there that time of year
Looks very peaceful there.
Thank you for the nice video, i didn't know about that spot. Any specific stand you would recommend (i also camp with bakkie and RTT)?
Thanx for the comment. You 100% good to go with the RTT on any stand. Only thing, is the stands close to the water doesn’t have that much shade. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the camp and ablutions… and it’s less than 200km’s from Cape Town.
@@rather_be_camping super, thank you. I'm heading to Beaverlac on Saturday, cant wait as i would also rather be camping 😁 Thanks for the reply 👌
Keep on adventure bro.
As long as I can be outside, life is good. Thanx for the comment.
Price, wildlife?
Hi Deon. I think we paid R150 per person per night to camp and they also charge a conservation fee of a[proximately R250 (one off). Big game is scares but birds are abundant, with smaller animals. You can check out their options for night safaris. Hope it helps
I camped there for a week, not a soul to be seen, i was the firdt soutie to snorkel for an hour in my underpants, hyperthermia set in therafter...too 2 hrs and 6 double captains to come right...no crayfish😂😂😂
Looks epic I’m definitely going to do an adventure there!
Definitely worth the trip. We’ve been there quite a few times. Don’t for check out Cederberg wines while you’re there. Some of the best wine in the region
I want to go again, early next year ! Last time they had a Riel dancing troupe at the poolside .... such a beautiful place ! Most rock art ever in one location, then the stars at night !
Oh man! We want to go here!!!!!!
You should put it on your list. Definitely worth it. Thanx for the comment.
Excellent video quality.
Hank you very much. I appreciate the comment.
Baie cool en goeie video. Ai jissie ek en sean moet begin plan maak
Wonderful to see. Please do yourself a favour and check out Matjeskloof 4x4 Adventure Farm in the Calvinia/Sutherland district. Opposite of flat, but absolutely awesome. You will not be sorry.
Many people find paradise in Overseas places, to me ,where you are, that's my paradise...sitting on a koppie overlooking the (Tankwa) Karoo landscape...
I totally agree.
I am very proud of you , because you drive a TOYOTA HILUX - well done on bringing us this videos - thank you
🤣🤣, you’re welcome.
Beautiful landscape, I drove detours to get to drive through, was well worth it.👍
Amazing, lovely photography, I always wonder how to get those massive mountains into the photo - I can either get their tops or their roots - but you do it well.
Thank you Penny. I appreciate the comment.
The beauty is in the detail - and the Karoo is full of details.
Our country does indeed have so many beautiful and wonderful places to explore, the Tankwa is a gem. Thanks for taking us along.
I think so too. Thank you Sergio
Excellent gedoen
Flippen nice thanks for sharing
Thanx Shaun. Appreciate it
Hi! Is this spot available with a 2 x 4 vehicle?
Love jul ligte kamp opset, wys hoe maak jy met stort en toilet geriewe (spesifiek die skuilingl
Hey Nico, This is really beautiful. Great photography. May I ask what camp site this was called? And how safe is it to camp on the beach? I’m desperate to do it, but always hear horror stories. I was at Palmiet at couple weeks ago and some was caught breaking into tents at night…
Would have been great to know the places you have visited.
Will try to note the places in future
Nice work, thanks for sharing it's a beautiful campsite!

Hi. We are a group of small stock farmers from Botswana we want to visit the Karoo on benchmarking trip . Can you please assist on which farms we can visit , accommodation and meals
The videos I post are places that I have personally camped at. I can unfortunately not comment on the accommodation and other services available. I would suggest contacting the Tankwa Karoo Tourism group for more help. Sorry I can’t be of more help
Thank Nico I will definitely contact them
Love this. Will be taking my wife on a trip soon!
Mooi wereld julle dankie vir deel
