Richtersveld. Is De Hoop the best campsite ever?
We travel from Potjies Pram to De Hoop, inside the Richtersveld park. This is our 3rd visit to De Hoop and don't think we'll ever get tired of it. It may have a lot to do with the fact that we started this overland channel at De Hoop but still, nothing beats a strong flowing river in front of your tent.
Part 3 will be the last video of this trip where we show you the Fortuner upgrades and explore the Richtersberg route. Richtersveld, just magic!

The long awaited trip to Richtersveld is now just another memory. What a beautiful area of South Africa. It's been our 4th visit in the Richtersveld park and definitely not the last. It's food for the soul and resets your thinking of life in general. Spending time with family and friends is priceless. In this video we travel from Cape Town to Highlander, the first stop over.

Exploring the relentless Tankwa Karoo - Part II
มุมมอง 6Kปีที่แล้ว
This really was an eventful trip with lots of repairs but also some fantastic scenery. The trip made us realise how important it is to travel with likeminded people. People that share in the fun times but also in the times when things don't go according to plan. Tankwa Karoo - we'll be back!

One of the best getaways you can plan! Visit the Tankwa Karoo via the Cederberg mountains (Wupperthal). You'll experience the best views in the Western Cape, South Africa. We had our fair share of drama with 3 of the 4 vehicles, but that is part of a visit in such an arid area. Check out part 1 and stay tuned for part 2 where we move from Tankwa to Die Mond.

So some proper FOMO now 🙈 2. Love all there vehicles! I have a Landcruiser, I had a Fortuner and I secretly have a love affair with Jimnys. 3. Great to see a Roof Pod on the Jimny 👌.

    We were there 30 yrs ago, for the first time. Camping was very different then. De hoop camping was free, nobody knew about it those days. Cooler box, no Engle fridge, one spare tire, top and bottom hoses, no cellphone either. Closest petrol station was Port Nolloth, or Springbok. Kubu island was the same those years, free and no charge.

    One of the BEST areas to visit in a 4X4! Nice video, and great to see family and friends enjoying the amazing scenery. It is a pity that you spoiled your video with music which is irrelevant and annoying, boet. I always prefer the sound of tyres rumbling, crumbling and crunching the hard ground and the sound of a good engine in videos such as yours. Well done, anyway!
