  • Our travel review on the South African side of the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park, located in the Northern Cape Province. This far-flung and seemingly desolate park is well worth a visit and, in our opinion, should be added to any overlanding tourer's bucket list.
    As always these last few years, we took this adventure in our Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series, affectionately known as the Wild Dog.

    Looks fantastic man! Those remote desert roads, incredibly beautiful. I wonder what they look like at night, can imagine the stars!! Thanks as usual for a great video. Looking forward to the campsite review too

      Starkly beautiful! Amazing contrast between the desert plains and mountains. It was quite an experience. Great camping experience too. Glad you enjoyed the episode, thanks for the feedback ☺

      This is a really cool park, very different from what you would usually encounter in South Africa.

      Would be good to do both sides of Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park when Covid border restrictions are down. Beautiful place!

    Spent 5 nights there last month. Did you visit Tierkloof and the caves as well ??

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      We didn't get to do Tierkloof, ran out of time. I definitely want to spend a night in those caves.
      Where did you stay in the RTP?

    • @markyeadon7271
      @markyeadon7271 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I stayed at De Hoop on the river. In via Akkedise pass and then out over Hells kloof.

      When you have time, I recommend a trip from Alexander Bay to Lamberts Bay down the sand tracks ( through Namakwa Nat Park & the diamond concessions. ) camping on the beach. Would make a good video of a seldom visited area of SA.

      Beautiful area. Very peaceful. We've done some of it, but not all in one go. #BucketList 👍🏾

      Drove past De Hoop, on the way to Richtersberg, but couldn't stop as it was getting late. Looks like a nice site.

    When driving from Joburg do you stop along the way? And if so where do you normally break?

    • @TravelGigolo
      @TravelGigolo  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's a long drive so in this case it was part of a road trip. Our preferred stopovers are Kalahari Water in Keimoes (quick one night stop), or Witsand Kalahari Nature Reserve for a longer break.
      The Growcery near Vioolsdrift is also a very nice stopover if you want to visit the cairns and go that way. I would recommend that.

    I really like your informative videos, just some constructive criticism, that massive blinding red logo screen you use between scenes, man that is hard on the eyes!

      Oh! Never thought of that. Are you watching on a big screen TV?
