- Another My Life in Africa WINGING IT tour, the idea behind these tours is to literally make no bookings have no planned itinerary other than an idea and direction. We pick our first nights stop and decide where to from there...
This WINGING IT tour we ended up on the longest 4x4 route that South Africa has to offer, the Namakwa 4x4 Eco Trail. A fantastic journey down the banks of the Orange River (now known as the Gariep River). This trail provides travelers the freedom of choice, the choice to choose where you want to camp, and where exactly is that you may ask, well anywhere you like on the trail itself, the options are unlimited. All you need to do is pick a spot that tickles your fancy and well you then just need to setup camp.
The route is not harsh driving, although there are sections that can be demanding on your vehicle and skill, thick sand, dunes and extremely sharp rocky sections where caution is required.
Follow our 14 day journey through some of the finest country side South Africa...and maybe Namibia has to offer. There might even be a shipwreck or 2 we visit along the way.
The first part in this epic series will give a detailed account of what the first part of the Namakwa Eco Trail, Poffadder to Vioolsdrif is actually like. In order to successfully drive the Namakwa 4x4 Eco Trail you need to be 100% self sufficient as supplies cannot be bought on route other than small items purchased from local grocers.
Sit back and enjoy our journey :-)

Thanks for the vid! We did the trail in December 2016, and watching this brought back great memories and we have put it on the bucket list again :) I have put a video on my other channel, inbox me if you'd like to see it.
Hi Rhett, I'd love to see it, please send it to info@mylifeinafrica.com 👌🏻
Love the video man! Also doing the Namakwa Eco trail in April this year then Richtersveld. Let me know when you're in the Cape Town area. Would be great to meet up for a trail
Hi Hendri, Enjoy the trail, it truly is amazing, my best advise is to enjoy every moment of it. If you would like any info you can send us an email :-)
Excellent. I wonder if my Jimny would do it ?
Honestly a Jimny is a very very capable vehicle, it would be 100's!!!
Nice video....just subscribed ur channel..hop to see good videos......
Thanks for the great feedback :-)
@@MyLifeinAfrica wow what awesome videos you guys have .its 1:18 in the morning and i am enjoying watc
hing you guys doing the echo trail .
The hottest place in SA is Goodhouse, as per Stevenson apparatus. 2nd is De Hoek near Piketberg, worcester, Oudtshoorn, Kirkwood. Upington is cooler.
Awesome videos, where did you get the stickers of the countries on the side of you troopy?
We had them specifically made, we are in the process of setting up our shop on facebook and will be selling them to the public soon :-)
Shux man, if I had actually booked the camping spots on the trail and you pitched up "winging it" I can't say I'd be stoked. Respect nature bru, be lekker, get a permit in advance.
We tried to get the permits before we went on the trail, the offices were not open, we ended up paying for the permits after the trip, it was not for lack of trying before. We never camped near anyone else, nor would we have should someone have been in the specific spots...
How can one book for this trail ??
You can book it through Northern Cape Tourism offices...
Did you have to book? Or get a permit?
We didn't as we didn't know we were going to end up there 100%, permit office was closed so we ended up paying after the trip.
@@MyLifeinAfrica i assume there is no cell reception? Also how long does it take to get from the start of the trail to the first campsite? I ask as Im leaving cape town and want to knof if I should camp in Pofadder or somewhere before heading to the trail.
There is cell reception here and there but not all the time, your first camp is literally wherever you want to make it, there are the "main" known camps but anywhere next to the river is suitable to camp, if you go over the pass you can be at your first camp spot in about an hour or two...
I see thanks. I spoke to the people regarding bookings and they said I have to choose the dates id like to be at my camp etc and make sure im there on the day that Idike to be there. Reason being they are fully booked.
Watched it and is good but like so many, the music is just too /.......
Can't please everyone all the time hehehe
