- Arriving for our last day of camping at Kagga Kamma, we got a chance to get some camp chores done at the stunning wild camp Bobbejaankrans. Our Overlanding adventure continues as we take the gravel road down into the Tankwa Basin, where we go offroad from the R533 into the Tankwa Karoo National Park; en route to our first night of camping at Steenkampshoek. After an incredibly beautiful camping experience we get in the hilux, engage 4x4 and make our way up to the top of the Gannaga Pass! A spectacular view! We arrive at our next campsite Perdekloof where I decide to bake some breads and good them over the fire! A truly awesome day exploring the Tankwa

South Africa is so beautiful. Thanks for capturing it. I always get sad when an episode of Roam Overlanding is ending.
hahaha! all good things come to an end, luckily there is more next week! :P
Pick 'n Pay have Magnum icecreams on special. You need to stock up!
Ice cream is essential on a hardcore overlanding trip! Amazing what luxuries we can enjoy these days. I’ve loved having plenty of ice for drinks on my short trips.
Hahah yes! 😂 the luxuries really help on the long trips! 😊
Defrosting meat in some water is really quick. You can also put it in your engine bay soon after you’ve stopped. Works a treat.
Good tips! Luckily In that particular case we luckily had a pack of bacon in the fridge that needed to be used!
u r awesome
its truly incredible to see how capable this green beast is.
I agree the Tankwa Karoo is such a special piece of south africa most people have not experienced.
Having good food goes a long way to enjoy the serenity of the bush. Loving your videos, thank you.
What a track? !! Reminds one of the gidea desert in Southern South Australia. It is very stony, with the stones reflecting the light from the stones, which is blinding. Congratulations. For being so laid back about your vehicle. Take it slowly and carefully does the trick. Anne de K
Loving the areas you've visited in this trip so far. Loving the 4WD tracks too. I have to say, your Hilux is looking the part.👍👍
Thanks bud! Next episode’s 4x4 track is the best 🤓! The old Luxy has been a good ‘n for sure!
@@RoamOverlanding Ya know, coming from the USA, it's easy to forget that you and Andy are at the beginning of your winter while we're in our summer here. We're actually in a cool spell the last few days with highs around 27C and up to 32-33C in a few days and lows at night around 15C, but here in Illinois you have to remember it's very humid at around 70% humidity. In Albuquerque, New Mexico it can be 97F and feel cooler than it is in Illinois when it is 84F because of the humidity.
Nice one.👍 Fantastic scenery and 4WDing tracks. I particularly liked the cliff edge track you showed. I bet Andy can't wait to get his own 4WD out to these places.
Glad you enjoyed it! He is so damn excited, little bit of a sneak peak for you but we are getting ready to install his dual battery system soon, solar and fridge ready to go!
Yeah!.....at last another vid.....
On the bucket list, been around Calvinia about a month ago but to be in the Roggeveld mountain region must be breathtaking just the pure beauty of nothingness.
It’s such an awesome experience. TKNP genuinely blew my mind, I wasn’t expecting it to be so good!
Its just getting better and better!!!well done
Nice!!!!
Thanks for watching!
i am just impressed ,feels like iam there
Really enjoy all your trail episodes. One comment....no clue from any map where Steenkamps hoek camp is
Ep2, yes man! Loved it.
Big sky country! Excellent video. Thank you! - One of my favourite locations except for the tyre eating!.
Hahha for sure!! 😂
So glad to have found your channel. Fantastic narration and content, can’t wait to watch more. Safe travels from the UK
Greetings from Kenya. I also do African adventures
Stunning views. Ever thought of getting a camping oven? May come in handing with your love of bread!
I got one after this trip 😂
Loved it mate, regards from Nam
A self proclaimed Valie🤣🤣🤣🤣
beautiful episode guys
Another amazing episode. You remind me of a younger ASPW but more passionate and hungry to the success of your channel and work.
Glad you enjoy it!
Great Ep! Cant wait to go here!
its really awesome!
👍 Epic Video as always 👍
Thanks buddy!
AMAZING
Great content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Thanks for tuning in every week an watching. 👏🏻
Another great production pal. Perfect spot, it’s so beautiful!
Thanks a ton for the feedback bud, glad you enjoyed!
take it from the Jimny, don't use a bag when making bread😂
Nice 🤙👍
Thanks! 😁
Amazing location! What wind deflector do you use around your gas stove ? I would love to pick one up
It’s a special spot! I can’t remember where I got the wind deflector, but everywhere I look I struggle to find another one… 🤣
Nice set up.Just a question about your roof tent being just two male individuals on that trip why is Andy erecting a ground tent is the roof tent small to accommodate you guys both ?
It’s better for a long trip like this where we have been on the road for 30days. Plus Andy is a hiker so that tent is his second home anyways. It’s much nice after a long day of being in the car together the whole day and working on the filming to have our own space to retire to at the end of the night. I’ve shared the tent before with my dad on the trip to Namibia and it’s absolutely fine 👍🏻
psssst....we wanna see Andy more
We hide him behind the camera because someone has to hold it 😂
@@RoamOverlanding we have nicknamed you two...Laurel and Hardy....lol love your channel
Great footage of a beautiful part of SA. Done most of that region on adventure bike but would love to come down with my 4x4 (from Gauteng). Question: Have you also had hassles with your batwing awning collecting rain puddles requiring frequent drainage to reduce strain on stitching & joints? I see other makes that have a short vertical stub to tighten the awning and increase the runoff gradient. Surely Eezy Awn must be aware of this issue.
Hey Sean! It is a lovely part of the world indeed! With regards to the awning, yes mine does that but if you lower one of the legs and create a bit of a gradient for the water to flow down that can also really help. I find the let directly opposite the hinge works well to shorted, but you will need to peg it down so that it has something to pull against. I hope this helps!
@@RoamOverlanding Good idea. If night time rainfall seems imminent, we do shorten some/all legs to allow better gradient which works great if no wind accompanies rain. However, if its a windy squall, the sloped awning is fair game for strong winds compared to when deployed flat. All trade-offs of camping I suppose to keep it interesting.
Awesome episode... Enjoyed it a lot.
If you don't mind me asking?.
What's the kilowatt and torgue on your 2.4 GD6?.
Awesome Nigel! Mine is remapped with a hybrid turbo and was doing 140kw and 490nm on the dyno.
@@RoamOverlanding Wow, that's awesome power...
Please forgive my ignorance. Are there any predators one should worry about? What would be the normal precautions?
Here in the USA when one goes to the national parks there are precautions against bears. As one goes deeper into the park then wolves come into play but fires keep them at bay.
Just curious. Since we don't live there images of lions, jaguars, hyenas, etc rolling by and saying. "Hey now there's a quick easy meal. "
hahaha dont worry about it! A good question! There arent many national parks in South Africa where you can actually be in unfenced camps. In this case the reason the camps are unfenced is because there are no dangerous predators around.
@@RoamOverlanding Good to know thanks. Saw a video from Laura and Nicolas how they stayed at a ultra luxury "tent" in Kruger National Park with a fence but she casually said Hyenas can get through so they just don't walk out of the tent at night. 😳 Granted the Tents were really luxury homes made to look like Tents and $4,000-$6,000 a night.
I just imagine their welcome sign, Come stay with us in the think of the jungle, where no one has been eaten in 240 days and counting... next day 01 .
Thanks again great content. 👍 by the way. How do you think the trip would have been in your Jimmy?
I wonder why no trees that are drought resistant are planted?
I guess the area is natural. tree's dont usually grow there so it is just how it is.
Hi. What solar panel is that? More details please ..
It’s the Redarc Solar Blanket 160W it’s a mono crystaline, and really works well 👌🏻
I would like to reach out to you
Regarding planning your next 4x4 trip in Limpopo
Hey francois, I havent starting planning anything just yet but it is definitely on the cars. You can always DM me on instagram if you have some nice spots youd like me to visit
@@RoamOverlanding thank you i’f send you a dm
